- Kevin Moriarty
Kevin Moriarty, the gay artistic director of the Dallas Theater Center, will be in town a little longer.
Moriarty, who took over the post in 2007, had his contract extended this week through the end of the 2013-14 season, keeping him as head of the 52-year-old company through August 2014.
The DTC also finished its fiscal year in the black for the eighth time in 10 years, with a budget surplus, despite spending exorbitantly on the revamped musical It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s Superman.
The DTC’s managing director, Mark Hadley, announced his departure earlier this year; this month represented his last show with the organization. He will be working with a church in Arlington. A search is currently under way for his replacement.
Is there a reason for the “gay” designation? Kevin is a cool and open person, but … ?? I’m assuming future DMN articles will identify the sexual preference of all individuals reported on.
