RTD with a good write up of the Henley Street Theatre’s new(ish) art director, James Ricks.

“I’ve worked with a fair number of artistic directors, and James seems to be in the best mold,” says Bo Wilson, who is directing Henley Street’s season opener, “Shining City.” (The show, a tale of ghosts and faith by contemporary Irish playwright Conor McPherson, begins its run Thursday at Pine Camp Community Center.) Complimenting Ricks for his “aggressive long-term plans, which I think are so critical for an artistic director,” Wilson compares the typical theater company to a shark: “If it’s not moving, it’s dead.”

The Henley Street Theatre is located near the Henderson Sports Complex just south of Azalea Ave. Their next production is Shining City which begins on October 2nd and runs through the 24th. You can pick up tickets here.
