Cathy Hung (Steinhardt PAA '92) and Andrew Hamingson (Steinhardt PAA '08) have been recognized in City & State New York’s inaugural 2024 Arts & Culture Power 100 list, which includes key figures at fine arts institutions, museums, historical sites, performance spaces, and other cultural attractions in New York.
Cathy Hung
Executive Director, New York Children’s Theater
Cathy Hung, who began running the New York Children’s Theater last year, is no stranger to New York’s arts and culture scene. Prior to leading the children’s theater, Hung was executive director of Young Audiences New York City and executive director of the Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning. She serves on the board of multiple arts and community organizations and was on an arts and culture advisory board for then-Mayor Bill de Blasio. This background led the theater board chair to say Hung was well suited to take the top spot.
