The Alliance Theatre has named Christopher Moses its associate artistic director. Moses joined the Alliance’s education staff in 2000 and has been directing the company’s education programs since 2011.
Under his leadership, the education department has doubled the number of young people taking part in programs, to about 11,000 annually, the Alliance said in a statement. During his tenure, the company launched such new programs as Theatre for the Very Young, Artist to Artist master classes, ArtsVibe programming for teens and Alliance@Work professional development courses.
As associate artistic director, Moses will continue developing partnerships with organizations like Georgia Quality Care for Children, Georgia Bright From the Start, the Anti-Defamation League, and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta. He also will work to deepen system-wide partnerships with public schools in Atlanta and Fulton County, the statement said.
The Alliance has been without an associate artistic director since Kent Gash relocated to New York in 2009, where he is director of the NYU Tisch School of the Arts New Studio on Broadway.
Moses, also an actor, has been seen in What I Did Last Summer at Georgia Ensemble Theatre (2010) and, more recently, as Wilbur the Pig in the Alliance’s Charlotte’s Web.
