I am delighted to announce Creon Thorne’s promotion to the position of General Manager here at PCS! Creon has been with the company for fourteen seasons: first as Master Electrician; for many years as our Production Manager (overseeing Sets, Costumes, Lights and Properties); he served as our Project Manager on the design and construction of the Armory; and for the past 18 months was Director of Operations.

When Greg Phillips joined us last month as Managing Director, he and I began talking about elevating Creon to the GM role for a few reasons. Number one, because Creon has for all intents and purposes been playing the role anyway and this would acknowledge both his skills and committment to the organization. Number two, Creon’s internal focus on operations would insure that Greg can keep his focus out on the community and ramping up our fundraising efforts. Number three: Creon has given his blood, sweat and tears to the organization for many years, and deserves the recognition.

To all who work with him, Creon is described as calm, laid-back, unflappable and great with the details. He just gets things done, and is one of the most pleasant people to work with in the building.

Please join me in congratulating him.
