I find it really hard to believe that there is no plan of succession for Jim Vincent. You don’t just put out an open call for an Artistic Director. (I didn’t check to see if they posted an ad on Craigslist.) This is something that you need to plan for and train someone for. Even at a repertory company like Hubbard Street, the Artistic Director provides the artistic mainstay of the organization and curates the work. You can’t just pull someone off the street to do that. The person needs to be familiar with the work and the company.
