The Playhouse San Antonio has named George Green, a native San Antonian who currently works with The Modern Theater in Spokane, Washington, as its new CEO and artistic director.

Green’s selection follows a nationwide search. He takes the helm on July 5, said Omar Leos, chairman of the theater’s board.

“He came in with a really strong and good vision taking The Playhouse to the next level,” Leos said. “He had so much passion and enthusiasm when he spoke about what he loves to do currently in his current theater, but also, he wants to bring that passion to The Playhouse.”

Beginning in 2010, Green served as executive and artistic director for The Modern Theater. His career also includes stints as artistic director of the Godbold Cultural Center’s resident theater company in Lubbock and director of development for the Spokane Civic Theatre.

Meredith Alvarez is leading the theater for the next few weeks, bridging the time between Green’s arrival and the departure of interim CEO Mia Migliaccio Hernandez. Migliaccio Hernandez became interim CEO after Asia Ciaravino left at the end of last year to serve as chief operating officer for the city’s Tricentennial Commission.
