The Stranahan Theater has a new leader, at least for the next six months. 

The theater’s board of trustees announced Monday that Dennis S. Sankovich is taking over immediately as interim executive director. He replaces Stephen Hyman, who resigned on Sept. 9. 

Mr. Sankovich is a Woodward High School graduate who earned a bachelor and master’s degree at the University of Toledo. He began his professional career at Bowling Green State University, before serving as executive director of the Toledo Jazz Society. He then served as regional manager of the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra in New York and later spent 16 years as executive director of The Ritz Theatre in Tiffin.
