Florida Rep’s Artistic Director Fired After Allegations of Bullying

AMERICAN THEATRE: For most theatre staffers, a promotion is a time for celebration. For Jason Parrish, who was told last Tuesday that he was getting promoted from associate director of Florida Repertory Theatre to interim artistic director, the news came with some complicated feelings.

“It is the strangest feeling to all of a sudden have that title and to be congratulated under the circumstances,” he remarked wryly. The circumstances: He was given the title after longtime producing artistic director of Florida Rep, Robert Cacioppo, was fired on Thursday, April 5.
