The Orange County Performing Arts center has named Terrence Dwyer as its new director. Dwyer was managing director of La Jolla Playhouse for 12 years before departing in 2004 for Houston’s Alley Theatre. “As president of OCPAC, Dwyer will be in charge of a diversified, $35- to $40-million-a-year operation that dwarfs the regional and off-Broadway theaters he has previously led.”
