Mike Lloyd, Executive Director of Broadway Grand Rapids will retire December 31, 2021. He will have served exactly 12 years. Calling it “the perfect moment for new leadership,” Lloyd said, January marks the opening of a new season with near-record season ticket sales and a line-up of shows “that can’t be beat.”
… While these are” thrilling measurements” of success, Lloyd said he was just as proud of the special program BGR instituted to bring economically disadvantaged students into the theater through the Seats4Kids program providing an opportunity many would never have considered. And, he hopes BGR will also continue to offer “partnership opportunities” to other valuable institutions in the community like Grand Rapids Community College, Paws with a Cause or the Red Cross who have raised funds in joint promotions with visiting shows.
