Stephen Schellhardt to step down as BoHo Theatre’s artistic director at end of 2021 season

September 17, 2021

BoHo Theatre's Stephen Schellhardt will step down as Artistic Director at the end of this season, the latest in a string of such resignations among Chicago companies.
Says Schellhardt:

"BoHo Theatre has been my artistic home for six years, and it has been a great privilege to work with so many talented and dedicated artists, staff, and board members,” says Schellhardt. “I strongly believe that a theatre company, whether Equity or non-Equity, benefits from fresh perspectives and voices behind its leadership table – and that includes BoHo. But I will always be proud of what BoHo has achieved, especially in such tumultuous times."

Schellhardt assumed the position in 2015 following Peter Marston Sullivan's resignation. His tenure included nominated for thirteen Jeff nominations with six wins, including Best Director for his production of Big Fish. Administratively, he established BoHo as a resident company at the Greenhouse Theatre Center in Lincoln Park in the 2019 season, where the regional premiere of Bright Star played.

Schellhardt currently heads the musical theater program at The Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University. That aside, he is looking forward to pursuing other artistic opportunities and spending more time with his husband and their three-year-old daughter. “BoHo will always be a beloved artistic home for me,” he says, “and I am eager to see what happens in its next chapter.”
