Troy Wageman the new Interim Artistic Director of Seattle Musical Theatre

As his first act as Interim Executive Director, Mark Chenovick has appointed Troy Wageman the new Interim Artistic Director of Seattle Musical Theatre (SMT).

“I feel blessed that Mr. Wageman is willing to assist SMT during this time of transition,” said Chenovick. “His artistry and integrity is beyond reproach and the passion he has for musical theater is exactly what SMT needs right now. Besides overseeing the productions in the current season, Wageman will also be assisting in plotting a course for the future of SMT.”

Wagemen was last seen at SMT as director for the hit Altar Boyz during the 2012-2013 season. Prior to that, he choreographed The Drowsy Chaperone under the direction of Brandon Ivie.

When asked for comment, Wageman said “I am absolutely thrilled to be taking on this formative position over the coming months. I have always had a special place in my heart for this organization, and I am elated to be given the chance to help this theater rise to where it can and should be in the Seattle theater landscape."

Coming up next for SMT will be Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, opening September 13th. Tickets are available online.
