Career


Hughes worked for 12 years as the associate artistic director of Seattle Repertory Theatre, from 1984 to 1996, under Daniel Sullivan.[2] The Los Angeles Times noted: "Hughes has a transparent style, emphasizing story and character, not flashy gestures. Lynne Meadow, artistic director of Manhattan Theatre Club, said that he is 'a wonderful director and smart guy.' "[1] Hughes was the artist-in-residence at the New School for Drama, New York City, in 2007/08. He has been the associate artistic director of the Manhattan Theatre Club and director of artistic planning of the Guthrie Theater.[3] He was the artistic director at the Long Wharf Theatre from 1997 to 2001.[1][4] Hughes has directed both Off-Broadway and on Broadway.


He directed The Grey Zone by Tim Blake Nelson Off-Broadway at the MCC Theater in 1996, and won the 1995/96 Obie Award for Direction.[5] In 2004 and 2005, Hughes directed Doubt: A Parable Off-Broadway and on Broadway, for which he won the 2005 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Director of a Play,[6] and the 2005 Tony Award for Best Direction of a Play.[7][8]


As a Resident Director of the Roundabout Theatre, he has directed many plays for the Roundabout,[9] including The Big Knife in 2013[10] and Mrs. Warren's Profession in 2010.[11][12]


He directed Frozen in 2004 at the Circle in the Square on Broadway and at the MCC Theater Off-Broadway, receiving a nomination for the 2004 Tony Award, Direction of a Play,[13] and 2004 Outer Critics Circle Award nomination, Outstanding Director of a Play.[14] He directed the musical Death Takes a Holiday Off-Broadway in 2011,[15] and received a nomination for the 2012 Drama Desk Award, Outstanding Director of a Musical. He directed Inherit the Wind in 2007 at the Lyceum Theatre, and was nominated for the 2007 Drama Desk Award, Outstanding Director of a Play.[16] He has directed several plays for the Manhattan Theatre Club, including Outside Mullingar in 2014,[17] and The Father in 2015/16.[18]
