Assignments: Coy Middlebrook

Artistic Director

Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts

Jean Davidson, Executive Director and CEO of the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts (The Wallis), has announced the appointment of Coy Middlebrook as Artistic Director.

“The opportunity before us is to think about the audience experience in a much broader way,” said Middlebrook. “A performance can be a beginning rather than an endpoint—a way to open a door to a new artist, a newly discovered impulse to learn a new form of expression. Bringing artistic planning and education together gives us another powerful way to create those connections.”
