Title: Executive director of the Goodman Theatre.
Age: 62.
Lives: Chicago. (He was born and raised here as well.)
Education: Notre Dame, economics.
Family: Married to actress Mary Beth Fisher — she played a lead character in the Goodman’s recent “Luna Gale.”
Dress: Sharp dresser. Usually dark suits, bright ties and bright socks.
Interests: White Sox, golf, reading history, going to the theater.
Fun facts: He has never performed in a play. And he has never spent the night in the theater. “Back in the early days, you were working around the clock … but you need to keep some kind of boundaries, some kind of division.”
The play that got away: “We don’t let them get away.”
On managing creative chaos: “To produce a play involves getting a lot of different artists to pull in the same direction. It’s a highly collaborative art form. … What I’ve tried to do offstage is create a corporate culture that mirrors that.”
