Beyond the Lights: A Conversation with Theater Professionals

22. JONATHAN MCCRORY - Artistic Director of National Black Theatre

January 18, 2021 • Mary Beth Smith

Jonathan McCrory is the Artistic Director of Dr. Barbara Ann Teer’s National Black Theatre. Jonathan walks me through his serendipitous beginnings at the Duke Ellington School in Washington DC to his current position at National Black Theater. Jonathan considers himself a “creative doula” a term I had never heard until this conversation, but after “meeting” Jonathan I can think of no better description.
