Dale Morris is
stepping down as artistic director of 6th @ Penn
Theatre as of April 1, 2008. Actor, playwright,
director, Matt Thompson will assume the post at
that time. Matt will also be the artistic
director of the Resilience of the Spirit
Festival 2008. Dale Morris has led the theatre
for seven years through ups, downs, good times,
and turbulent times – he will remain as
executive producer, board member, and business manager. He
will spend more time trying to return to acting
and to writing plays. Dale feels that the
addition of Matt Thompson will bring on a new
theatrical vitality with San Diego audiences and
a new day-to-day artistic partnership with the
actors and directors of San Diego. More about
