In this Season 3 episode of NEW@NAMT: Arts Leaders, we sit down with Cat Brindisi, Associate Artistic Director at Asolo Repertory Theatre and a longtime champion of bold, fresh musical theatre.
đď¸ Hosts Jean-Paul Yovanoff and Skye Cone Ivey explore Catâs journey from co-founding 7th House Theater in Minneapolis to serving on NAMTâs New Works Committee, and now stepping into artistic leadership at one of Floridaâs most influential regional theatres.
đĄ Cat shares how Asolo Rep supports new musical development, what excites her about the future of the form, and how collaboration is central to every process she leads.
đś We also dig into her work as a director, her evolving creative process, and why saying âyesâ to an Interim leadership role can change your entire path.
⨠Plus: Her favorite composer, the first musical she ever fell in love with, and the cast recording track she never skips.
Whether you're building a new musical from scratch or reimagining the canon, this episode is full of insight, inspiration, and heart from a leader helping push the field forward.
