Olson has been widely despised for years, except that some actors would pretend to like him in order to keep getting jobs there. Like someone else pointed out, he has said many offensive things via social media. That being said, he's just not a nice person. He's vulgar, a hypocrite, and lustful with young actresses or interns. On top of that...he was a TERRIBLE director! We're just so glad he is GONE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4635185732043778974.post-63660498179388392812014-05-23T17:00:43.519-04:002014-05-23T17:00:43.519-04:00It's difficult not to view this as a very stra...It's difficult not to view this as a very strategic move on the part of Mr. Olson in view of the recent brouhaha in the local arts community related to his repeated creepy sexist/racist comments on social media. This represents both a fresh start for Mr. Olson and preemptive damage control for American Stage. Best of luck on both scores. I hope Mr. Olson exercises better judgement in his new role in Maryland.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4635185732043778974.post-77832584040322227602014-05-23T15:39:17.629-04:002014-05-23T15:39:17.629-04:00"American Stage will conduct a national searc..."American Stage will conduct a national search for a new artistic director." Why? They have the perfect candidate working as their box office manager. Also, I find it interesting that the Bradenton Herald is the only media outlet that picked this up. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
