According to Derek, “We are so proud of Terry Martin and all that he has accomplished for WaterTower Theatre during his 17-year tenure as Producing Artistic Director. On behalf of the theater’s Board of Directors, we would like to offer our heartfelt gratitude to Terry for the immense contributions he’s made to WaterTower Theatre over that time. His artistic vision has helped fashion WaterTower into one of the jewels of the North Texas arts community. Though we hate to lose him as Producing Artistic Director, we’re very excited for Terry’s new opportunity to shape young minds at Greenhill School and impress upon them the importance of the arts.”
During his years with WaterTower, Terry has “overseen more than 150 production,” as well as “both the administrative and artistic aspects of the Company’s nearly $1.8-million annual operating budget.”
Derek stated, “WaterTower Theatre is a financially sound organization with strong ties to the community. The Executive Committee of the Board is currently crafting the parameters of a search process for this position that will almost certainly garner interest from candidates across the nation. We look forward to shaping the next evolution of this great organization.”
