The McGregor Hall Board of Directors has named Matt Nowell as the interim manager of the performing arts center. Mr. Nowell, serving as Technical Director since 2015, will assume the position recently vacated by Tommy Deadwyler, who has decided to pursue new projects outside the local area. Mr. Deadwyler served as executive director of the hall since its opening in October 2015.
“The board is pleased to have someone of Mr. Nowell’s experience step into this leadership role,” said John Wester, chairman of the board of directors. “He has been with us since the beginning, working with the artists Mr. Deadwyler brought to our stage and the organizations that have used the facility. We wish the best for Mr. Deadwyler in his new endeavors,” Mr. Wester said.
The board of directors is preparing the 2017-2018 season. “Opening and operating a facility such as McGregor Hall requires many different elements that work together. McGregor Hall has an engaged board of directors and a tremendously loyal group of volunteers and patrons,” Mr. Wester continued. “I have no doubt these committed groups will continue to be important elements that make us successful.”
