What’s holding up appointment of new theater director at NEA?

The Washington Post: Ralph Remington may just be the most irreplaceable man in Washington theater. This week marks a year since Remington left his job as director of theater and musical theater at the National Endowment for the Arts to take a position with the Actors’ Equity Association in Los Angeles. In the interim, the federal agency has advertised the position twice but hasn’t filled the job. Many theater professionals have been wondering why there has been such a delay and worrying about not having a national advocate in Washington.
