CALGARY Haysam Kadri was announced as Alberta Theatre Projects interim artistic director Monday. Kadri, a Calgary native who spent six years at the Stratford Festival, will step in and assist the theatre and interim executive director Kyle Russell as the company attempts to navigate its way out of the pandemic. He will also continue his work as the artistic director of the Shakespeare Company. He said his main objective will be to honour the legacy - and the programming - of the late Darcy Evans, who died after announcing the 2020-21 season that was cancelled due to the pandemic.
