Meredith Suttles on changing theater: 'Artists of color have come together in new ways'

Datebook: Meredith Suttles, Marin Theatre Company’s new managing director, believes her career chose her. She knows that few kids dreaming of a life in the theater imagine themselves as management savants who have a magical touch with donors. She also knows most African Americans in the business are on the artistic side, not the operational or offstage. But Suttles was drawn to theater management while in college and studied for this.
