Recovering from Loss

No, this isn’t an entry about our show Vigils which played during the month of February to great success. That show was about a Widow who was learning to grieve from her husband’s death and trying to move on, while keeping his soul locked in a box. It was a wonderful show and it’s appropriate that it was the last show for our former Managing Director Kevin Moore before he moved on to run the Cleveland Playhouse. We miss you, Kevin!

While news of this move has been common knowledge for a while, I’ve found that many people are unaware of what Kevin did and the tremendous impact he had on our theater. Howard is the face of Woolly Mammoth and one that our subscribers have come to know and love. Howard built Woolly from the ground up and the theatre won’t be the same without him when he retires (hopefully a day in the far, far future). But while Howard made the artistic choices that put us on the map, Kevin was the one who kept the theater moving. From getting sure everyone got their paychecks on time to being the leader of our multi-million dollar campaign to land us in our beautiful new space, Kevin did it all.

We’re in the midst of interviewing candidates for Kevin’s replacement and it’s an exciting time… we don’t know who we’ll get or how they’ll shape Woolly Mammoth in years to come, but we’re sure they’ll be wonderfully woolly! And hopefully, we’ll still get paid on a regular basis.

By the way, tomorrow is Club Woolly night for Dead Man's Cell Phone by Sarah Ruhl. Don't miss this heartwarming and lyrical world premiere by the author of The Clean House!
