Scot Denton, the Highlands Summer Festival Artistic Producer is stepping down. The Festival would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to Scot for his enormous contributions over the past almost 20 years. He has been an integral part of the Festival team since 2005. A long-time professional actor and director, Scot joined the Highlands Summer Festival as a director. He was responsible for some of our most exciting productions including The Fantasticks, Annie, The Good Bye Girl, Anne of Green Gables, Great Expectations, Oliver, Mary Poppins, Sound of Music, and, most recently, The Miracle Worker. In 2008, Scot stepped into the position of Artistic Producer, bringing his extensive experience in theatre and wide range of skills to elevate the quality of all aspects of Highlands Summer Festival productions. He put together fifteen exciting seasons and worked closely with the production team to achieve the highest level of quality and professionalism of all aspects of production. Scot had a remarkable ability for casting roles and identifying the talent in our community. In particular, Scot’s work with young actors – directing, mentoring, and leadership of the Early Stages Program – developed some incredible talent and fostered confidence, teamwork, and love of theatre in young people in our community. As Scot steps down as Artistic Producer, he leaves a great legacy for the Festival. All who worked with Scot, learned from him. He was incredibly generous with his time, teaching and mentoring cast and production teams alike. The Highlands Summer Festival is so very grateful to have worked with Scot. We wish him all the very best in his future endeavors and more time to spend with his wife Amanda and their children and grandchildren.
