Ford retires from Palace Theatre
Staff Report
MARION Following 22 years of service, including a decade as Executive Director, Bev Ford will retire from the Marion Palace Theatre this November.
What began as a part-time job selling tickets in the box office back in 1998 turned into a career of service to the arts.
Over time, Ford advanced from one position to another before taking the helm in 2011. A lot has happened over the last 10 years at the theatre, both on stage and off.
When it comes to programming, opportunities for local performers increased including productions specifically for area youth. Sensory-friendly movie showings brought big-screen entertainment to new audiences. The Academy of the Arts returned with classes for a variety of artistic disciplines. Different styles of shows also came to life in the smaller space of the May Pavilion.
