Opera House Artsâ new director started this week
STONINGTON â Tony Adams, former artistic director of Chicagoâs Halcyon Theatre from 2006 to 2019, began work Monday as Opera House Artsâ new executive director. Adams was among more than 100 candidates who applied for the job. He succeeds Per Janson, who resigned last July. The plan is to hire a part-time director of artistic programs too.
Both Adams and his wife, Jennifer, co-founded the nonprofit Halcyon Theatre, an innovative theater ensemble, in Chicagoâs Albany Park Neighborhood. The Adamses strived to make their theaterâs stage âas diverse as the city of Chicago â presenting new voices from inadequately represented communities and recasting classic works to showcase their contemporary relevance.â
