Interim director named for PAC
Charles Leslie, former associate director for the University of Texas’ Performing Arts Center, has been appointed interim director of the PAC, effective immediately, a UT press release said. Leslie has been the associate director of the PAC since 2003 and was assistant director and production manager prior to that appointment.
Leslie steps in for Pebbles Wadsworth who in March announced her plans to retire in January 2008. Wadsworth will stay on as consulting director as the Bass Concert Hall undergoes a $15 million renovation. A $12 million renovation is planned for the 1,200-seat historic Hogg Memorial Auditorium. The schedule for that project has not been set.
What’s going down at the PAC if the Bass is closed? Not much during the 2007-2008 season. Expect a few music acts to pop up at the Hogg, but otherwise UT’s Dept. of Theatre and Dance and the UT School of Music are getting the promotional push this season.
