ART To Kerry Healey: No Thanks

Over its 28-year history, the American Repertory Theatre has never rejected a nominee for its advisory board. Until former lieutenant governor Kerry Healey was nominated.

As Mark Shanahan writes today:

During a contentious March 19 meeting to consider Healey's appointment, several members of the ART's 40-member board criticized the Republican nominee's unsuccessful campaign last fall, calling it mean-spirited and condemning a controversial television ad that highlighted Deval Patrick's advocacy for a convicted rapist.
