In August, Playhouse Square named current Royal Albert Hall Chief Executive Craig Hassall as President & CEO. He will join the organization in early 2023.
Under his leadership, the Royal Albert Hall has grown its catalog of events produced, increased revenues and broadened the reach of the venue to become a major destination within London.
Craig is a mainstay in the international theater community, with decades of experience operating and curating major venues in Europe and Australia. In addition to his role as chief executive of the Royal Albert Hall, he previously held the chief executive position at Opera Australia and was managing director of the English National Ballet. He was also chief operating officer at Raymond Gubbay Limited, a prominent commercial promoter in the UK, and held senior artistic roles for major projects including the 2000 and 2012 Olympic Games in Sydney and London.
“Playhouse Square is a dynamic, visionary organization with a great history of accomplishment and leadership in the performing arts industry,” says Craig. “It’s poised to play an even bigger role and I am honored and excited to have the opportunity to partner with the Board of Trustees and this talented staff to take Playhouse Square to the next level.”
