In the wake of a New York Times exposé of Milwaukee’s Skylight Opera Theatre’s welter of “demonstrations, petitions, mass resignations of performers, subscriber revolt and Facebook vitriol interpreted by management as violent threats,” Playbill News reports this morning that Eric Dillner, the “vilified” managing director of the company, has resigned.

According to a story this morning in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, “Former managing director Colin Cabot, a major figure in the Skylight’s past, will become interim artistic director, and another former managing director, Joan Lounsbery, will assume day-to-day management until a successor to Dillner has been identified.”

As always, Tony Clements has the most timely details on his tuesdays blog.
