New leader, new lobby, no more assumptions in Sean San José's Magic Theatre

Datebook: There’s a long list of ways that Sean San José differs from other Bay Area theater leaders, but here are just two: First, his emails look like e. e. cummings poems, all line breaks and lowercase letters, even when they’re about the world’s least poetic subjects, such as confirming press tickets to a performance. They’re written with such warmth that, as with other poetry, they supply spiritual nourishment, which gets at another rare San José quality.
