Lin McEwan will assume the newly created position of executive director of ProArts Playhouse, the community theater's board of directors recently announced.
Well known on Maui for her outstanding performances on the stage and talent as a writer -- she received the Audience Choice Award at the 2018 Maui Fringe Festival for her original play "Vindication" -- McEwan graduated Magna Cum Laude from Vanderbilt University where she majored in theater and was the university's first graduate to receive high honors in creative writing.
In addition to her creative talents, McEwan also brings to ProArts more than 13 years of operational and administrative business leadership experience with Fortune 500 companies.
"I will do my utmost to honor the legacy of the theater's previous and current leaders," she said of the appointment, "while expanding on the commercial and creative success that they have fostered.”
ProArts will kick off its 2019-2020 season on Sept. 13 with the thriller "Strangers On A Train," helmed by "Vindication" co-director Tina Kailiponi, followed by a lineup that includes "Fun Home" and "Evil Dead The Musical."
