“I am honored and humbled by the opportunity to lead The Muny and serve a community that I love. The unparalleled history, remarkable resources and aspirational spirit that have yielded a century of success for The Muny are our foundation as we begin our second century. With great excitement, I look forward to the future of a cultural institution that will take intentional steps to broaden and evolve our identity and relationships through both our art and our investment in this community.” – Kwofe Coleman, Muny Managing Director
