FSU/Asolo Conservatory Director to Retire After 17-Year Tenure

Arts & Culture

Greg Leaming, director of the FSU/Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training program and associate director of the Asolo Repertory Theatre, will retire at the conclusion of the academic year after 17 years of teaching, directing and leading the MFA Acting Program at Florida State University’s School of Theatre.

“Working with the FSU/Asolo Conservatory and Asolo Repertory has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my career,” Leaming said. “The faculty, staff, artists at Asolo Rep and the administration in Tallahassee are all superb craft persons, and our alums are truly the future of the American Theatre.” 

Leaming said he looks forward to guiding the program through this school year and “passing the reins on to a younger and more energetic individual to move this remarkable institution into the next decade.” 

“Finding ourselves solid and stable after the past 18 months, and after having recently been named one of the top training programs in the English-speaking world by The Hollywood Reporter, the Conservatory is in an excellent place for me to step aside and retire,” Leaming said.
