There’s a new Head Fool in town! 🤠 ⭐️ We are pleased as punch to announce the official appointment of our new General Manager, (drumroll please…) Sarah Finn! Sarah has found a previously untapped love for all things spreadsheets, and is taking over for the incomparable Keith Jackson. Below are some parting words from Keith. “A huge thank-you to our audience members and donors who continue to give me a thrill with your appreciation and joy every time I watch a show. It’s been a massive privilege to work with such a group of talented, good and caring people - from my staff colleagues and our wonderful volunteer board of directors to all of our community and business partners, and every single one of our contract theatre professionals - the most enthusiastic and engaged people I have ever met. The Fools are something special to Ottawa and to me. Long may they flourish!” - Keith Jackson We’re sending Keith a sincere “see you soon”, and wish him nothing but the best on his next adventure while we embrace Sarah with fabulous Foolish flourish. Join us in celebrating both Keith and Sarah by sounding off in the comments 📣 💕
