Cheyenne Myrie ’17

Cheyenne Myrie is the Director of Individual Giving & Special Events at the Tony Award-winning Signature Theatre.

In this role, she spearheads major gifts, oversees the young patron program, and organizes donor events including Signature’s gala.

Prior to this role, she served for two years as the Director of Institutional Advancement at The Theater Offensive, a QTPOC theater organization based in Boston. In both roles, she brings together diverse knowledge and experience in arts management, Black theatre history & narrative, and working with Millennial and Gen Z populations.

Cheyenne’s expertise is informed by her coursework and senior project research in Arts Management at Purchase College for which she was awarded the Jandon Business of the Arts Award.

She went on to receive her MA from New York University Gallatin School of Individualized Study where she focused on fundraising and marketing in theatre to audiences of the global majority.

Her time at Purchase, both in AMG courses and gaining hands-on experience supporting student productions, paved the way for her career growth and contributions to date.
