James Morgan and The York Theatre (12/21/2020)

James Morgan is the producing artistic director of the York Theatre Company in Manhattan, with which he has been associated for 46 of its 51 years. A scenic designer, graphic designer and occasional director, his work has been seen on Broadway and Off-, in regional theaters around the country. His friendship with Janet Hayes Walker, who founded the York, blossomed into a career as they discovered similar tastes in theater—especially musical theater. When Ms. Walker passed away in 1997, he was her choice to replace; he changed the mission of the company to all musical theater. It is now known as the place “where are musicals come to life” and has enjoyed many successes at its theater at 54th Street and Lexington Avenue.  https://yorktheatre.org/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-morgan-b2821b8/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/York_Theatre
