Aurora co-founder looks back and forward as Lawrenceville Arts Center opens

ARTS ATL: Anthony Rodriguez’s friends remember it vividly, but he doesn’t. When they remind him his post-college plans included opening a theater company, he laughs because he has no recollection of that. Despite a shaky memory, that alleged statement has proved prophetic. As president, CEO and co-founder (alongside associate producer Ann-Carol Pence) of Aurora Theatre, Rodriguez has just opened the company’s new $35 million Lawrenceville Arts Center.
