Denver Center for the Performing Arts Responds to Kent Thompson Resignation

In an official statement issued today by the Denver Center for the Performing Arts' Board, trustees respond to a previous article regarding the resignation of former artistic director Kent Thompson's. See the statement below:

"In response to inaccurate statements printed in Westword made by former Trustee Jim Steinberg, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts' Board of Trustees affirms that CEO Janice Sinden reviewed with each Trustee the resignation of Producing Artistic Director Kent Thompson, which he announced on January 6, 2017.

Furthermore, the Board fully supports all decisions connected with Mr. Thompson's resignation made by CEO Sinden. Mr. Thompson's contributions to the DCPA have been invaluable - including his current production of The Christians and the upcoming Colorado New Play Summit.

We appreciate his willingness to continue to serve in an advisory capacity through September as he consults on our transition plan. We wish him every success in the future."
