The Board of Spooky Action Theater has placed Artistic Director Richard Henrich on leave of absence.  Richard’s artistic duties will be shared among the current staff along with our new Production Manager.  As part of its ongoing Strategic Planning, the Board will conduct a performance review of our Artistic Director, our staff and our productions.  We believe this Strategic Planning review will create and put in place effective policies, procedures and staffing that will ensure a welcoming environment for all.

The upcoming production of Maple and Vine, originally scheduled for spring 2020, and postponed several times due to the pandemic, will go ahead during this time with a cast, design team and crew that has been contracted since well before the current concerns became public. The Maple and Vine team’s desire is to see this exciting project through to fruition after so many disruptions and to do so in the creative and cooperative environment that is at the heart of our work as theater makers.
