"I am grateful to Matt and the Board for trusting me to help guide the organization through the next stage of their journey," he says.

Matt Logan, artistic director of Studio Tenn, expressed his excitement at adding Morgan to the already successful team as they plan for the future: "He supplies both a rare blend of personability and business sense with experience in producing and managing theatre, granting him a strong place of leadership within Studio Tenn, making him perfect for the position of managing director," Logan says.
