New Managing Director at ACT Theatre Not Working Out So Well

posted by on May 29 at 17:29 PM

Only two months ago we were posting about Susan Trapnell stepping down and Jolanne Stanton stepping up as the new managing director at ACT Theatre, which was generally read as a sign that the theater was healthy and confident again.

As of this afternoon, Jolanne Stanton has become the “interim managing director,” a euphemism for she’s quitting or she got canned. ACT’s Karen Bystrom says “the search for a new managing director has begun immediately.”

There were questions, two months ago, about Stanton not having much theater experience, about her short one-year tenure on ACT’s board. At the time, those questions were deflected with answers like yes, well, we think she’s the right person for the job anyway. Looks like she wasn’t the right person for the job after all.
