Greetings from President & CEO, Ken Stein

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

2022 Board of Directors I want to say that I am excited to be hosting our first conference”after
COVID” or “post-COVID” but someone today told me the more
Shane Burkett
Agile Ticketing Solutions, LLC appropirate term is “post-vaccine” as COVID really hasn’t gone
Rob Bull anywhere. With that in mind, please join me in creating a safe space
The Compass Group where attendees feel open to mask or not mask, to socialize or social
distance and/or do what they need based on their personal health
Willa Burke concerns. If you feel unwell at anytime during the conference, please
Jujamcyn Theaters limit your access to other attendees and let a member of the LHAT staff
Laura Corman, PhD know how we can assist.
Educator/Community Volunteer
Christine Delaney
Tibbits Opera House It has been nearly three years since we gathered last in Philadelphia in
Steven Ehrenberg 2019. Three years. I just can’t get over that. Some theatres have gone
Ambassador Theatre Group / ATG North from closed and shuttered to fully-restored and celebrating a grand
America re-opening in that time. Colleagues have changed jobs or retired. No
Molly Fortune (Board Chair) doubt there will be plenty of familiar faces in Cleveland, but there will
South Carolina American Revolution also be many new ones. During COVID, the League expanded its reach,
Sestercentennial Commission especially to assist with PPP, ERTC and that painful SVOG application
Becky Hancock process. The staff and I worked hard to do what we could during COVID.
Tennessee Theatre We had one goal in mind: this conference. We just really wanted to see
Alycyn Keeling all of you in person again. Welcome! You made it.
Wallace Theater
Chris Loeser, AIA This week we hope you enjoy Cleveland, home to some of America’s
DLR Group most extraordinary historic theatres and the second largest theatre
Keith Marston district in the nation. Thank you to our friends at Playhouse Square for
The Shubert Organization hosting us and especially Tom Einhouse who moved mountains so we
Randy McKay could spend the week in the center of that district. Thank you as well to
Carolina Theatre of Durham Tony Sias and Karamu House for keeping us open to new ideas for this,
Maureen Patton our second conference to be held in Cleveland. 2009 was our last visit.
The Grand 1894 Opera House We are happy to be back and so happy that you are with us (again)
Michael Schnoering, FAIA this time. A huge thank you goes out to all of our volunteer presenters.
You are the reason the League is what it is. And finally, thank you to our
Mills+Schnoering Architects, LLC sponsors who make it all possible.

Stephanie Silverman The week is filled with wonderful theatre tours Monday and Wednesday,
Belcourt Theatre important education sessions each day, and what we hope will be an
Kevin Sullivan enlightening special DEIB presentation on Tuesday. Please don’t miss this
Maury, Donnelly & Parr, Inc. / National Trust special session as we also have a very exiciting announcment to make
Insurance Services at the conclusion.

I’m going to stop writing now so you can stop reading and we can all
BOARD EMERITUS head down to the lobby bar and do some much needed catching up.
