He’s worked in administrative roles at the Steppenwolf Theatre and The Wilma, and he is also a playwright and sometime actor, with his work being featured across the country. As Managing Director, Aguirre will lead the theatre’s business plan and strategy.

“There were several qualified people who applied for the position”, said Chris Leifheit, president of the board of directors.

“We are thrilled to have found someone with Michael’s talent, experience and passion for the arts to collaborate with current staff and board to lead us out of this COVID crisis and toward a promising future,” Leifheit said in a press release.
