“I’m honored to lead the Business & Legal Affairs team during this exciting period for Concord Theatricals. I look forward to working with Sean Flahaven and the rest of the Theatricals team, as well as with Amanda Molter and the General Counsel’s office, to
 support Concord’s work across the theatre industry and to provide the highest level of service to our authors, clients, and customers,” said Barnard. 

“Caroline is a brilliant attorney and strategic advisor, and we have been very fortunate to have her as a collaborator for seven years,” said Sean Patrick Flahaven, Chief Theatricals Executive at Concord. “I’m looking forward to continuing to work closely with
 her on our many projects in licensing, publishing, recording, and producing.”
