BIOGHIST REQUIRED Gregory Mosher is an influential figure in American and international theater. He was born in New York City in 1949 and attended Ithaca College and the Juilliard School. After graduation, Mosher moved to Chicago and became an assistant to William Woodman, head of the Goodman Theatre. Mosher stayed at the Goodman for seven seasons. Following his tenure in Chicago, Mosher was invited by former NYC mayor, John V. Lindsay to head the theater at Lincoln Center. Mosher accepted the position. He began to rework the organization of the theater. Mosher launched an innovative production schedule and implemented a new marketing scheme that replaced the traditional subscriber arrangement.
