Michael Ross - Micro-Urbanism
Ross became the sixth director of Krannert Center for the Performing Arts in 1997. He came from the Miller Theatre at Columbia University in New York City, which under his direction was recognized by The New Yorker as “the city’s hottest hotbed of innovative programming.” Deeply committed to embracing the art of the past as well as the art of our time across disciplines, aesthetic sensibilities, and cultural legacies, he views the Center as a potent blending of classroom, laboratory, and Public Square. He was also recently appointed to the Illinois Humanities Council Board of Directors and was made the chair of the Association of Performing Arts Presenters Executive Board.
