Meghan Pressman In With the New

IN 1999, MEGHAN PRESSMAN WAS AN APPRENTICE at Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts. It was there that she met Michael Ritchie, then the festival’s artistic director. Little did she know that 20 years later, she would be working alongside Ritchie at Center Theatre Group, Los Angeles’s largest nonprofit theatre.

Pressman is in the midst of her first season as CTG’s managing director/CEO, which includes managing the budget for the $55 million three-venue organization. And Pressman is making L.A. theatre history as the first woman to hold that position. Innovation is part of her background. Prior to CTG, she was managing director of Washington, D.C.’s Woolly Mammoth
