I embrace my ability to work broadly in the theatre. “Wearing many hats” allows me to stretch in various directions, ultimately making me a more able and interesting artist. Just as I am a parent, a child, a father, a friend, a mentor, a teacher, I am also an artist. These facets make me who I am. Aristotle defined character is the sum of an individual’s actions. Working as an artist in multiple facets of the theatre, I define myself a "Theatre Artist." |
David M. Maslow is a versatile director, designer, producer, educator based until recently in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His work (no matter which hat he wears) is noted for its clear storytelling, upending of preconceptions, and an imagination that rotates a kaleidoscope on the world as we know it. David has worked with companies across the United States creating exciting and engaging productions of both new works and re-envisioned classics.
He served as Producing Artistic Director/Executive Director at Pittsburgh’s Open Stage Theatre, and has held staff positions at the American Repertory Theatre, The Huntington Theatre, The Opera Company of Boston, City Theatre (Pittsburgh), the Jonesborough Repertory Theatre and Williamstown Theatre Company among others. David holds a B.A. in Theatre from Hamilton College and a M.F.A. in Directing from the University of Iowa.
