Summer in Santa Fe is a vibrant time marked by a robust offering of arts and cultural opportunities — from summer festivals to the opera and beyond. This month on Community Matters, we speak with Colin Hovde, a producer, artistic director, and current Executive Director of the Santa Fe Playhouse. As one of the longest-running arts organizations in our region, the Santa Fe Playhouse has created community on stage and off by holding space for unexpected conversations through intriguing and vital programming since 1919.

Colin Hovde (he/they) is a producer, director and arts administrator. He served as producing artistic director of Theater Alliance of Washington DC from 2011 to 2019. He is a founding artistic director of ARTISTS’ BLOC, and a founding member of Capital Fringe Festival. In 2004 he was a producer of the Worldwide Arts Collective Festival in Macau, China. He has directed at Santa Fe Playhouse, Theater Alliance, Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, Imagination Stage, Adventure Theatre, Rustaveli Theatre in Tiblisi Georgia, Washington Shakespeare Company, Riot Actors of Washington, Rorschach Theatre, Washington Savoyards, Solas Nua, Perseverance Theatre, and The InSeries. He was a Kenan Fellow at the Kennedy Center, a directing fellow at the O’Neill Playwrights Conference, received a Cultural Envoy grant from the Department of State, and was selected for the Fulbright-Hays Program. He holds a BFA from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts and is a member of SDC the Union for Stage Directors.
