Chantel Green—who has served as assistant director and director of development under Solvang Theaterfest’s retiring Executive Director Scott Coe—recently took the reins as the local nonprofit’s new executive director.
Solvang Theaterfest also announced the appointment of Ashley Esdaile as its new assistant director. For the past year, Esdaile (pictured, right) served as the organization’s executive assistant and bookkeeper.
In press materials, Green (pictured, left) expressed excitement about continuing to foster “a culture of amazing music and entertainment in the Santa Ynez Valley,” referring to Solvang Theaterfest’s Music in the Garden series, which began on June 2 and will include live music events throughout the summer.
Green also promoted “our fantastic fall season, with more exciting events to come,” including a fall lineup of live comedy and music acts to take the Solvang Festival Theater’s stage in September, October, and November.
