Director, The Hound of the Baskervilles (2026)

Mr. Phillips proudly serves as the Producing Artistic Director & CEO of the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company in Cincinnati, OH. Brian has had the pleasure of leading CSC for almost 25 years. In that time, he led CSC to becoming one of the first five theaters in the United States to complete Shakespeare’s 38 play canon, as well as building a $17.5mm new theatre in Cincinnati’s historic OTR neighborhood. Brian would like to thank Corinne, Holden, and Annabel for their love and support.
