With long-time Theatre in the Square managing director Raye Varney resigning this week, staffer Susan Reid will fill the role in an interim capacity, board chairman Mike Russell has announced. The position will not be immediately filled to cut overhead, Russell added, and the Marietta troupe’s producing director Palmer Wells also has agreed to work without pay until the funding outlook improves. The theater is attempting to raise $750,000 by June 30 that would help retire its debt and secure operating funds for the current fiscal year. HOWARD POUSNER
