Larry Gawronski, who has served as acting executive director of the Topeka Performing Arts Center since August, will remain in the position on a permanent basis, venue officials have announced.
Since 2000, Gawronski has been an employee of VenuWorks, the Ames, Iowa-based management firm that operates the city-owned facility for the nonprofit Topeka Performing Arts Center organization — which raised the $6.25 million for renovation of the former Municipal Auditorium, 214 S.E. 8th. The renovated TPAC opened March 23, 1991.
