The Wilbury Theatre Group Announces New Board Leadership       

The Wilbury Theatre Group announced that Milly Massey who was serving as the Board's Vice President, will be taking on the role of Board President. Board member Daniel Procaccini will fill Massey's position as Vice President. This follows former Board President Gene Spector's consecutive two terms as President.

Milly Massey is thrilled to take on this new role with Wilbury. "Gene's tenure as Board President was marked by tremendous growth for the group, and we are indebted to his thoughtful leadership. None of us could have predicted the socio-quake that rocked not only the theater industry, but our world, over the past year. Throughout, Josh and the team resourcefully produced thought-provoking theatre with a host of diverse artists and community partners. I look forward to continuing to support this great work, as we collectively find our new normal."

Daniel Procaccini adds, "It is invigorating to be part of a dynamic organization that is constantly seeking new challenges. I am grateful that my fellow board members elected me to this position, and I look forward to supporting Wilbury's continued growth."

Upcoming programming for Wilbury Theatre Group includes Darcie Dennigan's Dolores Goes to Poetry City, based on the poems of Farnoosh Fathi (June 10-20) and FringePVD, which will run for an extended two weeks (July 18-31).
