The executive director of the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts is resigning at the end of the month.

On Tuesday, Kathleen Eads, Reg Lenna Center for the Arts executive director told The Post-Journal she is officially resigning from the Reg Sept. 27. She is headed to St. Charles, Mo., to Lindenwood University to be the new director of theater operations for the school’s performing arts center.

“I had an opportunity that presented itself and it’s a really wonderful opportunity for me,” she said. “It was a hard decision.”

Eads has really liked her more than five years as the leader of the Reg, having started in January 2014.

“I really enjoyed every little bit of it,” she said. “I’ve really enjoyed the people and certainly the staff. I appreciated the support from the community. We have improved things. I will be leaving it better than I found it.”

Eads said the task she was able to accomplish as executive director that she is most proud of is the renovations to the center. The $4.5 million renovation project was finished Nov. 9, 2018, with the most public viewable change to the complex being the redesign of the theater’s lobby, located at 116 E. Third St.
