Laguna Playhouse announced today that Bill Kerlin will step down from his position as Managing Director of the Laguna Playhouse to focus solely on his work as Managing Director of North Coast Repertory. David Ellenstein will continue in his dual roles as Artistic Director of both the Laguna Playhouse and North Coast Repertory Theatre. Laguna Playhouse Board of Directors comments, “While we appreciate all that Bill has been able to accomplish in the last 18 or so months, we have come to the conclusion that we must have a Managing Director in our theater, and for the greater community, on a full-time basis.” A search for a new Managing Director for the Laguna Playhouse will begin after the start of the new year.
