A Message from


the Chairman of the Board Peter Erly


The 2010-11 season was an exciting year of building and transition. Like many other arts organizations, the Flynn is being affected by major demographic, economic, social, and technological change. These developments present opportunities to build on our core strengths and remain in the cultural forefront of our community.


In the Flynn’s first full year under the dynamic stewardship of John Killacky, we initiated a detailed analysis and discussion of the changes necessary to respond to the shifting needs of audiences, artists, and other constituents. In addition to providing steady and thoughtful leadership to core artistic and educational programs, John has inspired the imagination and innovation that is critical to the Flynn’s continued success. Most importantly, he’s been keenly aware that our performing arts center needs to belong to everyone through accessibility, affordability, and communication with the public.


As you know, the original Flynn opened in 1930, and ongoing attention is needed to maintain our physical plant. This year, the Flynn successfully enhanced and enclosed our loading dock facilities. No longer will loading crews be required to dodge raindrops and snowflakes in assembling the elaborate staging. During the 2012 season, we’ll seek your support for another critical project as we replace our 60-year-old, squeaky seats, enhance the lobby and historic marquee, and improve the acoustics in the hall. We hope that you’ll join us in gathering the financial support necessary to ensure this project’s success.


I invite you to review your Flynn Center through the eyes of various staff members. We’re fortunate to enjoy strong community support through our members, audiences, and artists. On behalf of the Flynn Board, thank you all for your contributions and commitments that have allowed the Flynn to be what it is today.
