Goodman Theatre Forms Innovation Group to Meld Theatre and Start-Up Cultures

Stage Directions: The Goodman Theatre has formed a new “Goodman Innovation Group,” designed to unite “top-tier entrepreneurs with young theater leaders in a collective that injects the start-up mentality into the business of the theater.” The Group was started by the Immediate Past Chairman of the Goodman Board Patricia Cox and Genevieve Thiers and aims to: engage young entrepreneurs in the vision, values and programs of Goodman Theatre; create professional development opportunities for the next generation of theater leaders; and identify initiatives emphasizing new technologies and further insights that advance the Goodman’s mission and priorities.
