Kelvin Dinkins, Jr., the A.R.T.'s newly-named executive director, embraces 'joyful accountability'

The 35-year-old will come to Boston from Connecticut after wrapping up as general manager of Yale Repertory Theater, as well as assistant dean and acting chair of theater management at the university's David Geffen School of Drama.

After an 11-month search Harvard University and the American Repertory Theater have appointed Kelvin Dinkins, Jr. as the American Repertory Theater's new executive director.

"I believe in the work,” he explained. “The way it shaped and molded my life are things I want to do for audiences, for young people, for older generations to come back into theater and find themselves, find a story, find an experience, find a community.” “How do we build more accessible spaces for our diverse communities so that there is access and a true and genuine invitation?” he asked.

“We have a higher calling as a 501-C3 organization that is developed for the public good,” Dinkins said. “What that is now is more than just our season of programing; it is in how we build relationships from the board, to volunteers, to staff, to our community partners."
