New Managing Artistic Director

Compass Theatre welcomes JOSH HYATT as its new Managing Artistic Director.

Josh is, in his own words, "new-ish" to the San Diego theatre community, relocating here from Miami within the last few years. Josh joins Compass Theatre "hoping to develop and implement programs to further enhance and provide additional organizational and financial structure so the theatre can maintain and hopefully exceed its already high standards."

In Miami, Josh served as the General Theatre Manager and Artistic Director of Main Street Playhouse, where he oversaw the operations and productions from script analysis and season development to donor relations and grant coordination. He also worked to assist smaller local theatres produce shows and find sponsors and donors as a producer for the Theatre League of South Florida. Additionally, Josh was an active board member responsible for developing the seasons of Pembroke Pines Theatre of Performing Arts and Broward on Broadway.

In San Diego, Josh has directed at Diversionary Theatre (Searching for Mr. Right) and Compass Theatre (Hairdresser on Fire opens the QPlays series on September 7).

Josh replaces Matt Thompson.

Welcome Josh!
