“It’s a difficult profession, and you should only get into it if you have to. And I had to.”

Quaintance said the Virginia Stage Company, a nonprofit theater that plays to about 70,000 people a year, faces financial challenges typical to all arts groups, but they are manageable.

He said community outreach will be a key ingredient to the theater’s success, and he’s already planning the 2017-18 season – “one tailored to this community.”

He also has worked as an associate artist with PlayMakers Repertory Company in Chapel Hill, N.C., and the Open Fist Theatre Company in Los Angeles, and was founder and artistic director of FreightTrain Shakespeare in Los Angeles.
