Seven months after former Washington City Paper editor Erik Wemple smacked around Washington’s arts press corps for failing to report Studio Theatre founding Artistic Director Joy Zinoman’s announcement at a retreat for Studio employees in 2005 that she’d be stepping down this year, Zinoman’s successor has at last been identified: David Muse, currently associate artistic director of the Shakespeare Theatre, was named the new boss by the theater today (you can download the announcement from Studio’s website).

Longtime City Paper theater critic Trey Graham first reported the news on Friday, and the Washington Post followed up on Saturday with a profile of Muse. It was a big scoop for Graham, especially considering the note that Peter Marks included in his story that the final interviews for the job were apparently conducted inside a room at the Washington Post’s offices.
