Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: The Pittsburgh Irish & Classical Theatre board of directors today fired founder and artistic director Andrew Paul and told him would not be working on the four plays he was scheduled to direct.
Mr. Paul, who founded the company 17 years ago, moved to Las Vegas two years ago when his wife got a job there and has been splitting his year between his family and Pittsburgh.

It will be interesting to see this company's transition in the coming years. It seems a little odd that Paul had no idea that his own company's Board was planning on firing him. The Board seemed to have been planning on letting Paul go since he moved to LA. You would think that he would have some indication that the Board was unhappy with this change, especially considering he was the one who founded the company in the first place. Perhaps the issues between the Board and Paul went deeper. Regardless, such a drastic change in leadership will be very interesting to observe. Paul makes a good point when he says that he was the one who chose the season, and it will be very difficult for the company to go forward with Paul's ideas and plans for the upcoming season.
