The selection of the City Theatre director will be discussed by the Lahti Welfare and Leisure Committee on Wednesday 23 November.
The selection team unanimously recommends Maijala as the new theatre director of Lahti. The proposal is based, among other things, on Maijala’s diverse and strong experience in artistic and administrative management in the theatre sector.
The financial, production and artistic responsibility of a theatre in Lahti is part of the job of the theatre director. Maijala has also worked as a director at the Helsinki City Theatre.
According to the previous plan, Laasonen’s term of office would have ended at the end of July 2023. The theatre director will be elected for a five-year term in Lahti.
Maijala is scheduled to start in Lahti as a theater director at the beginning of January 2024.
