Trinity Rep says Reilly has served on the theater group’s board since 2008, most recently as its vice chairperson and chair of Trinity Rep’s governance committee. Reilly, Trinity Rep says, has led her firm for more than 25 years. She also served on Trinity Rep’s staff as director of development from 1991 through 1994, Trinity Rep says.
In a statement, Reilly said it is “humbling” to be named Trinity Rep’s new chairperson and that the organization is in a position of “great strength financially and artistically.”
“I believe it is my job to serve the theater’s mission, support the staff and company of artists, and lead the Board to make decisions that help Trinity Rep achieve its goals,” Reilly said. “And we have the staff, artists, and leadership to grow ever stronger. I love Trinity Rep, and I want everyone in Rhode Island to love it too.”
Trinity Rep’s board also welcomed four new members. They are Cheryl Clarkin, an attorney and shareholder for Adler Pollock & Sheehan PC; Kevin Matta, board vice president for Diversity and Inclusion Professionals and Amos House’s chief human resources and diversity officer; Michael Sweeney, founder of Sweeney Advisory Group; and Trinity Rep company member Stephen Thorne.
