Miranda Haymon has been named resident director of Roundabout Theatre Company, one of New York City’s preeminent non-profit arts organizations.
Haymon also worked to develop Dave Harris’ new play “Exception to the Rule,” the story of six Black students who are stuck together in detention. The piece was intended to debut in 2020 with Haymon directing, but will instead launch in 2021 after COVID-19 delayed its premiere. Coronavirus has had a devastating impact on the live theater business with many venues closed through the end of the year and Broadway not expected to come back until next spring.
