It has been said that the only constant is change. “Henderson County Performing Arts Center is about to experience another change in Executive Directors,” said Board President Dr. Mark A. Roberts. “Marcia Colbert is retiring at the end of the 2016 Season.”
Colbert, only the second executive director the theatre has known, will step down in December to pursue time with her family and to travel.
“It was a difficult decision,” said Colbert, “but I accepted the position when Dennis Gilmore left with the proviso that it would be for only two years. The Board has been very gracious in respecting my decision.”
