Ms. Tolani is the newly-appointed Artistic Director at Union Arts Center, which represents the recently merged A Contemporary Theater and Seattle Shakespeare Company.

Yuvika Tolani joined Union Arts Center as Artistic Director in May 2026. She brings to the role a background that spans theater producing and urban community development, grounded in the belief that a strong arts environment is foundational to a healthy city.Tolani spent seven years at The Public Theater in New York, rising to Director of Producing, where she oversaw more than 20 productions annually for audiences of over 400,000, including Shakespeare in the Park, community pageants, and Off-Broadway premieres. As a member of senior leadership alongside Artistic Director Oskar Eustis, she shaped institutional strategy, long-term season planning, and guided the organization through the pandemic. She brings dramaturgical training alongside her producing expertise.

Tolani holds a Master's Degree in city Planning from MIT and a Bachelor of Arts from Yale University. Her work across theater and urban community development reflects a singular conviction: that the arts are essential infrastructure for a thriving city. She brings that vision to Seattle and to Union Arts Center.
