William Russo will be the New York Theatre Workshop's new managing director, effective May 12, the theater's artistic director, James Nicola, and the president of the board of trustees, Heather Randall, announced Monday. The former managing director, Fred Walker, was let go last month, when the theater's entire production staff was laid off due to budget cuts.

Mr. Russo joins the theater from Playwrights Horizons, where he had served as general manager since 2000. He is a vice president of the League of Off-Broadway Theatres and Producers and an adjunct assistant professor at the Theatre Division of Columbia University's School of the Arts.

"The Board of Trustees is thrilled that Billy Russo has joined our family as the new managing director. He brings not only years of experience in the New York theater scene, but boundless intelligence and enthusiasm to his position," Ms. Randall said.
