Maryland Ensemble Theatre (MET) is thrilled to announce and welcome Kathryn Hnatio Vicere as the theatre's New Managing Director. Vicere is responsible for the stewardship of MET's continued growth as a local, regional and nationally recognized professional ensemble theatre.

"I was attracted by the company's mission & dedication to the creation of extraordinary theatre by a diverse ensemble of professional artists" Vicere said. "I believe that providing our community with a quality theatrical experience is the best multiplier to change the way we all view the world, and I'm thrilled to join in this important work, with these remarkable group of artisans."

Prior to her appointment at MET, Kathryn served for 9 years at the DC area's oldest children's theatre, Adventure Theatre MTC in progressive capacities: first, as Director of Education, then as Artistic Director of Student Productions, and finally, serving as Director of Development.
