Radio Show To Interview Director of Hunter’s Office of the Arts

Gregory Mosher with students

He — and his students — are the stars of the show. 

Hunter Office of the Arts Executive Director Gregory Mosher will be interviewed by Person Place Thing radio host Randy Cohen in front of a live audience April 8.

The event will feature live music from students in the Musical Theater class in the Theatre Department and will be recorded for broadcast. The college community is invited to attend the hour-plus discussion, which will take place at the Frederick Loewe Theater, at 2:30 pm and is being taped for broadcast at a later date.

“It’s a great honor and an excellent opportunity to talk about the high-impact work of the Office of the Arts,” Mosher said. 

An interview show, Person Place Thing works from the premise that people are most engaging when they speak about their interests rather than directly about themselves. Mosher, a Tony Award-winning producer and director who is also the Patty and Jay Baker Professor of Theatre, will share a person, a place, and a thing that holds deep meaning for him. 

Based in Room 307 of the Baker Theatre Building, the Office of the Arts reflects President Cantor’s vision that Hunter be an anchor institution for the community, fulfilling the mission of public education as an engine of social mobility and economic advancement. Almost nine out of 10 Hunter students are graduates of New York City public schools. 

At the Office of the Arts, Mosher works closely with Hunter’s academic administration to foster community partnerships, internships, and career placements and to hold performances, screenings, and other creative programming. A two-time Tony Award-winning producer and director, Mosher headed Hunter’s Theater Department from 2017 to 2022. He also serves as special adviser for the arts to President Nancy Cantor, consulting with the President’s Office on strategic direction and fundraising.  

“I share President Cantor’s vision that every aspect of American society is enriched by the diverse voices of public-school students. The arts are most valuable to a culture when they reflect the widest possible range of human experience,” Mosher said. “This office’s effort to support the astonishing diversity of Hunter’s young artists is not just an urgent matter of basic societal fairness. It is that without these diverse voices, we cannot have a full expression — a full understanding — of what it is like to live in America in the 21st century.” 

The launch of the restructured Office of the Arts has been funded by a $600,000 gift from Dame Susie Sainsbury. 

Cohen’s first professional work was writing humor pieces, essays, and stories for newspapers and magazines such as The New Yorker, Harpers, and The Atlantic. His first television work was writing for “Late Night With David Letterman,” for which he won three Emmy awards. He wrote “The Ethicist,” a weekly column for the New York Times Magazine, for 12 years.  

On January 30, Cohen interviewed President Cantor in an interview that will be broadcast by WAMC Northeast Public Radio on March 24.
