LARA MACGREGOR BIDS FAREWELL AS FORTUNE THEATRE’S ARTISTIC DIRECTOR After five years as Artistic Director at Fortune Theatre, Lara Macgregor has announced her departure, completing her tenure in October, 2015. “Running Fortune Theatre has been a most rewarding experience.

This is an exciting opportunity for a new visionary to take the reins and lead Fortune into the next phase of its future,”says Macgregor.
