Paul Crewes, the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts' first artistic director since 2015, will step down at year's end.
A formative era is ending at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts: The Beverly Hills organization said Wednesday that itsCrewes will assume the role of artistic advisor through the end of the 2021-22 season. His replacement was not named.
“He’s given us lots of time to make sure the transition goes smoothly,” said Wallis Executive Director and Chief Executive Rachel Fine, adding that Crewes, who came to the Wallis from Britain, is returning there for family reasons. “Even when he’s back in the U.K. he will be affiliated with us.” Noting how arts organizations work far in advance, Fine said Crewes has ensured the schedule has building blocks in place for the 2022-23 season. She said the Wallis is not ready to discuss a timeline for a replacement but that philanthropist and arts leader David Bohnett, who serves as chairman of the executive committee on the Wallis board, has been tasked with helping Fine and the rest of the board with the transition.
The pandemic, Fine noted, has been the catalyst for change elsewhere too. Longtime Center Theater Group Artistic Director
