SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse Stage has appointed Carly DiFulvio Allen as the theatre’s new managing director.

Beginning March 1, she fills the position at Syracuse Stage previously held by Jill Anderson, the performing-arts organization stated.

DiFulvio Allen currently serves as the associate general manager at Disney Theatrical Group for productions of “Aladdin” and “Beauty and the Beast” worldwide.

DiFulvio Allen’s arrival at Syracuse Stage is a “homecoming of sorts.” A Rochester native, she earned her theatre management and integrated marketing communications degrees from Ithaca College.

“We are thrilled to welcome Carly to Syracuse Stage,” Bob Hupp, artistic director, said in a statement. “Her background in New York City nonprofit theatres, and her recent work with Disney Theatrical Group, are perfectly suited to the leadership role she’ll assume when she joins us in March. Carly’s experience, her Central New York roots, and her people-centered approach to our work make her a dynamic and exceptional addition to Stage leadership. We’re excited to introduce her to everyone this spring, and I very much look forward to partnering with her to help Syracuse Stage make the strongest possible contribution to the cultural life of Central New York.”

Prior to Disney Theatrical Group, DiFulvio Allen was the company manager for Roundabout Theatre Company at the Todd Haimes Theatre (formerly the American Airlines Theatre) for 25 Broadway productions. Highlights from her tenure at Roundabout include the original Broadway production of “The 39 Steps,” the Broadway revival of “On the Twentieth Century” with Kristen Chenoweth and the original Broadway production of “Violet,” starring Sutton Foster.

“I am thrilled to be joining the remarkable team at Syracuse Stage and returning to Central New York,” DiFulvio Allen said. “Syracuse Stage’s now 50-year legacy of quality and inspired storytelling is a testament to the support, enthusiasm and engagement of this vibrant community. I look forward to working together to explore new opportunities for expanding Stage’s Vision of reimagining what is possible for regional theatre.”
