Third CEO’s A Charm (We Hope)

The troubled Mountain Laurel Center for the Performing Arts in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountain region has hired its third CEO since opening last August. Richard Bryant is tasked with cleaning up the vast mess left by his two predecessors: the center opened to great fanfare and the promise of becoming the summer home of the Pittsburgh Symphony, then went belly up midway through its first year. State legislators are considering a bailout package for the project.
