Orchard named a Bostonian of the Year
January 18, 2012
Executive Director of ArtsEmerson, Rob Orchard, was recently recognized as one of a handful of people named “Bostonians of the Year” by the Boston Globe Sunday Magazine for his role in steering ArtsEmerson’s successful 2010–2011 inaugural season.

“As executive director, Orchard carved out a niche for ArtsEmerson by hosting far-flung theater companies, such as Ireland’s Abbey Theatre, as well as offering a series of films and family-oriented shows,” the Globe’s Geoff Edgers wrote. “What’s more, his programming has been able to draw on big names—John Malkovich, F. Murray Abraham, Anne Bogart—and draw attention to lesser-known companies, including New York’s The Civilians, which recently staged the critically acclaimed You Better Sit Down: Tales From My Parents’ Divorce.”
