Gateway Theatre to launch nationwide executive director search after Camilla Tibbs steps down
Richmond organization has gone through a vast transformation during her eight-year leadership
Camilla Tibbs
GATEWAY THEATRE executive director Camilla Tibbs is stepping down after eight years.
Tibbs helmed the Richmond venue through a vast transformation in its programming, emphasizing new community-driven initiatives, and helped it weather the pandemic.
The facility’s board of directors says it will launch a nation-wide search to replace Tibbs, whose final day is May 9. Tibbs, who has held roles at numerous arts organizations, including the Vancouver Writers Fest, Touchstone Theatre, the Arts Club Theatre Company, and the London Symphony Orchestra, is taking a new role at an as-yet-unnamed Vancouver organization.
Effective immediately, Gateway Theatre is looking for an interim executive director, with more information here.
