Chicago Shakespeare Theater on Wednesday announced its new leadership team, naming Edward Hall as the company’s artistic director, and Kimberly Motes as executive director.
The leadership appointments — only the second in the nearly 40-year history of the theater company — come on the heels of the departure of founder/artistic director Barbara Gaines last month after 37 years, and the exit of executive director Criss Henderson in late 2022 after 33 years. Gaines announced her departure last year.
