The Astor Theatre Society is once again on the hunt for a new Executive Director.

Just over two months into the job, Lesli Chandler has resigned from her position as the Executive Director of The Astor Theatre citing the need to prioritize her family.

Chandler says The Astor Theatre is one of the best live venue spaces she has known.

The Board of Directors of the Astor Theatre Society published a statement announcing Chandler’s departure on Thursday and acknowledged her contributions and dedication, wishing her success in her future endeavors.

Chandler's resignation is effective immediately.

Former Executive Director Jean Robinson Dexter announced her decision to resign in March of this year and a replacement was found shortly afterwards. However, the Astor Theatre Society posted to social media in May that the newly hired Executive Director decided not to take the job and the search was back on.

Chandler was announced as the new Executive Director in June and began her tenure July 5.

Robinson Dexter has agreed to step in as the acting, part-time Executive Director while the board searches for Chandler’s replacement.
