July 15th, 2024: MSL Hires a New Executive Director
Main Street LIVE is thrilled to welcome Eric Shephard as Executive Director.
Eric brings more than 20 years of experience in arts administration, programming and curation, development, marketing, fundraising, education, and community enhancement to the position as well as an academic background in theatre performance. He most recently served as the Executive Director at the Waco Civic Theatre where he broadened the artistic presentations and efforts, growing the theatre’s presence in that community. He also served as Adjunct Faculty at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor where he taught classes in Acting, Script Writing, and Theatre. Prior to his role at the Waco Civic Theatre, he served 15 years as the Artistic/Executive Director for the Vive Les Arts Theatre in Waco.
Eric will oversee all aspects of Main Street LIVE theatre operations including programming, marketing, fundraising, community relations, and strategic planning. Eric begins his role on August 1, 2024, succeeding former Executive Director, Alison England, who recently moved to New York City to pursue other artistic endeavors.
We are very excited to have Eric join us. His experience, energy, and vision are the ideal combination to guide us into our next chapter as a leading arts venue in Southern Colorado. His broad background in performing arts leadership and administration makes him ideally suited to oversee Main Street LIVE’s wide-ranging mix of production and presentation of theatre, music, and the arts. His personality and enthusiastic approach will be invaluable in helping Main Street LIVE continue to deliver best-in-class entertainment to Trinidad and the surrounding areas.
Eric will work with Main Street LIVE’s Board of Directors, Director’s Forum, and Planning Committee to build upon the organization’s vision to refine our own unique voice in the performing arts sector of our area. In following the original mission of the theatre, Eric will welcome resident artists and the community at large to engage with MSL and bring outstanding entertainment to the community.
Please drop by MSL to welcome Eric. He is looking forward to meeting theatre patrons and community members as he acclimates to Trinidad and begins his journey in our wonderful community. He would love to hear from everyone about what they would like to see MSL accomplish in the coming years.
