  • Presentation House Theatre recently welcomed Robert More to the position of General Manager.  With years of experience in all kinds of productions, this Artist Among Us has worked as an actor, playwright, artistic director and managing director with theatre groups across Canada and around the world.  Robert is thrilled to land in North Vancouver to work with Artistic Director Kim Selody and the PHT team.  His return to the west coast also means he'll have more time to spend with his four fantastic daughters and the first male member of the family clan.  According to Robert, "they're the very best productions of all!"
