The Pendragon Theatre has welcomed Michael Aguirre from New York City as the new Managing Director. Mike is the founding Executive Director of New Light Theater Project in NYC as well as the former Producing Director of Access Theater, a multi-venue organization in downtown Manhattan. He’s worked in administrative roles at the Steppenwolf Theatre and The Wilma, and he is also a playwright and sometime actor, with his work being featured across the country. As Managing Director, Aguirre will lead the theatre’s business plan and strategy.

“There were several qualified people who applied for the position”, said Chris Leifheit, president of the board of directors.

“We are thrilled to have found someone with Michael’s talent, experience and passion for the arts to collaborate with current staff and board to lead us out of this COVID crisis and toward a promising future,” Leifheit said in a press release.

Come by our new location at 56 Woodruff (across from Nori’s) to meet Mike at July’s ArtWalk! Pendragon is excited to participate on July 15 and we hope you will swing by to say hello. We are hard at work finalizing plans for our new home and look forward to sharing more details with our community.

This summer, the Pendragon is also hosting a summer camp for children ages 10-18. Campers will participate in a production of the The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. Registration ends soon so be sure to sign up using this link!
