FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – Rising Action Theatre founder, David Goldyn has stepped down as Producing Artistic Director and has been replaced with Andy Rogow. Rogow has been working at the theater as Producing Director since March of this year. Goldyn will remain on board as a consultant to the theater.

Goldyn founded Rising Action Theatre in 2006 with performances held at the nightclub Boom in Wilton Manors. A board of directors was formed and the Rising Action Theatre became a non-profit organization and moved to their own venue on Oakland Park Boulevard in 2008. Due to rising costs, the theater moved last year to the Sunshine Cathedral/MCC in Fort Lauderdale.

Rogow is well-known in the South Florida theatrical community. He is the former Artistic Director of the Hollywood Playhouse, which received many Carbonell and Curtain Up awards and nominations under his tenure. He is also a past-president of the Theater League of South Florida, having served on its Board of Directors for six years and founding the Producers Forum. For the past several years, he has worked as a freelance director.

Goldyn is moving on to pursue acting, teaching and producing interests in New York. He was involved in the Broadway Across America’s revival of last year’s “Promises, Promises” with Sean Hayes.
