   creative:impact - Molly Rowan-Deckart, Marquee Arts' new executive director

   The only constant, they say, is change. You couldn’t prove that by the Michigan Theater! Since it opened in 1928, two people — Jerry Hoag and Russ Collins — have led that business for a combined 88 years. Change is in the air though! Molly Rowan-Deckart is coming to town to usher the Michigan Theater towards its centennial in 2028. We meet Molly when she joins Deb Polich on this edition of WEMU’s "creative:impact."
