New Leader for a Children’s Theatre in Minneapolis

Tim Jennings was recently named the managing director for the Children’s Theatre Co. in Minneapolis. He had the same position at the Seattle Children’s Theatre for the past four years. Jennings will be replacing the previous managing director, Gabriella Calicchio, who is leaving CTC because she will be taking a job at the Disney museum in San Francisco. Tim Jennings will be leading the company as a co-lead with Peter Brosius. Brosius is the Children’s Theatre Co’s artistic director.

The Children’s Theatre Co is the largest theatre for youth in the nation. The theatre is repairing its balance sheet after several years of deficits.

I found this article to be interesting and informative. Although it was short, I was to the point. I find it interesting how theatre companies work. It is much like any other company, once one leader leaves, his or her place must be filled. Jennings seems to be a very experienced leader and he seems to be interested in the field that he is in. I enjoyed reading this article to learn more about how jobs can be empty and filled so quickly.
