Black girl — and nonbinary — magic at helm of Bay Area theaters

Datebook: In July, Leigh Rondon-Davis, who uses gender-neutral pronouns, began a director’s residency at Shotgun Players, where they’ve been working for six years; now they will collaborate more closely with leadership staff to learn how to run a midsize theater company. (Theatre Bay Area administers the residency with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.) In August, Khalia Davis became the artistic director of Bay Area Children’s Theatre, with Nina Meehan changing titles from executive artistic director to CEO. In September, Margo Hall was named artistic director of Lorraine Hansberry Theatre, succeeding Darryl V. Jones.
