Board of Directors

It is incredibly gratifying to serve as chair of our Indiana Repertory Theatre. The IRT is perhaps even more important to our community and its citizens when we cannot physically be together. I have been deeply moved by the hard work and dedication of our staff, bringing theatre to our audience in these extraordinary times. We are blessed with amazing leadership and talent.

I want to give a special thank you to all of our patrons and partners who supported our successful Front and Center capital campaign, raising $20 million. How critical that will be for the future of our IRT, for generations to come!

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I thank you for joining us this season— one which will inspire and entertain. –Nadine Givens, IRT Board Chair
