Oral Histories: the Chairs, 1974-2024

Since the founding of the Department of Drama in 1974, the community has been served by remarkable leadership. Whether navigating the development of new curriculum and training programs or deftly guiding the department through extraordinary events like 9/11 and the Covid-19 shutdown, each Chair made their unique mark on the lives of Tisch Drama faculty, students, staff, studios, and alumni. As we look back this anniversary year, each Chair has shared memories and highlights of their tenure.
