Michael Kahn Takes Center Stage for his 25 Years at Shakespeare Theatre Company

in Around Town, Arts/Theatre, Parties/Events
hMichael Kahn is a man with a love of Shakespeare.  America’s leading classic theatre director and a renowned teacher, Khan has also served as the Shakespeare Theatre Company‘s Artistic Director for the past 25 years.  

“Never, ever, ever back 25 years ago did I ever expect that I would be here and I would have the chance to work with such extraordinary people and spend my life working on the most wonderful plays written in the English language,” Kahn said as he took center stage at the theatre’s annual Gala Monday night at the Company’s Harman Theatre.  

Celebrated performers, political and community notables, including Chelsea Clinton, Lynn Collins, Denyce Graves, Terrence McNally, Bradley Whitford and Sir Patrick Stewart lauded Kahn for his warm spirit, terrific direction, and recognizeable influence on the prosperity of DC’s arts environment. 

 Kahn’s leadership and accomplishments have grown the Company into what has been called “the nation’s foremost Shakespeare company.”  (Wall Street Journal)

“I’m a perfect living expample of how wrong F. Scott Fitzgerald was when he said that there are no second acts in American lives… Because I’ve had three wonderful acts.  This being the third stage of my life – the best stage I’ve had.  I’ve had 25 years of people who actually embraced the work we did and supported the work we did.”  

And the best is yet to come.
