Flowertown Players Hired New Artistic Director

Charleston theater veteran JC Conway has joined Summerville's Flowertown Players as its artistic director, the Charleston City Paper reported.

Conway's entrance onto the Summerville stage may signal a change for the Players. 

City Paper reported:

Known for his work in the local contemporary theater scene, Conway is an interesting choice for the small-town community theater. He’s been a driving force in Footlight’s Late Night Series and has directed at Midtown and Threshold. He also founded Theatre /verv/ in 2005, producing boundary-breaking works like Blue Room and Bash. The Flowertown Players, on the other hand, are better known for family-friendly crowd-pleasers like Annie and The Odd Couple.
