As of July 1st, founders of the Detroit Repertory Theatre, Bruce Millan and Barbara Busby have retired after 64 years of leadership of the iconic cultural institution.
Their vision of an anti-racist society, and their casting policy of hiring blacks in traditionally white roles, garnered them both accolades and criticism in the Detroit Theatre scene over the years. Since 1957, Mr. Millan operated as the Rep s Artistic Director and Ms. Busby as Fiscal Officer. Leah E. Smith has been named the new Artistic/Managing Director.
