Introducing the New York Neo-Futurists admin team! Join us in saying CONGRATS to ensemble members and Co-Artistic Directors Julia Melfi and Amelia Bethel and WELCOME to General Manager Sean Tecson!
From outgoing Artistic Director Rob Neill: “I am very proud of what the Neo-Futurists do and of the community and work we are creating. This is a great moment of forward motion for the NYNF. I’m excited to phase down from leadership while staying involved artistically, as Julia, Amelia, and Sean lead us into our next Neo-Future. Our ongoing relationship with Second City remains an essential anchor, keeping the work fast, fearless, and grounded as the company evolves.”
From Co-Board President Gary Belsky: “These changes reflect meaningful growth for the New York Neo-Futurists. With Julia Melfi and Amelia Bethel stepping in as Co-Artistic Directors and Sean Tecson as General Manager, the company is well-positioned to reaffirm its values while moving boldly into its next chapter. Our board, including Co-President Margo Johnston and myself, is excited about today’s leadership and the creative work ahead.”
From Julia: “I’m thrilled to step into this new role alongside Amelia and Sean as the company continues its ever-changing work, and I’m forever grateful to call the New York Neo-Futurists my artistic home.”
From Amelia:”Being a NY Neo-Futurist has been one of the great joys of my artistic life. As Co-Artistic Director, I look forward to supporting the ensemble in creating imaginative, visceral, immediate art that responds to the world around us, and I hope you’ll join us at The Infinite Wrench at Second City.”
From Sean: “I’ve admired the Neo-Futurists since seeing my first show in the East Village, and I’m proud to now support the company in this new role. My career in arts administration has been guided by the belief that strong operations make ambitious theatre possible, and I’m proud to help sustain the infrastructure behind The Infinite Wrench and the ensemble that brings it to life every week.”
