Galtwood Native to Open Restored Antrell Theater
 

GALTWOOD (June 22)- After much painstaking restoration work, Galtwood native Jude Raglan says that the Antrell Theater will reopen in the fall with a performance of A Faraway Year.

During an interview at a Lockett Street cafe, Mr. Raglan says that the idea of restoring the theater drew him back to Galtwood after twenty years away.

- [1] -. He was working as an administrator at a Latimev theater when he learned during a family visit two years ago that Antrell Theater was about to close.

"I was shocked," he says. The old theater, which sits at the corner of Fourth Street and Nichols Boulevard, had been a beloved part of his youth. He recalls, "We used to walk over from our house on Carden Lane. Secing The Glass Flag there even inspired me to work in theater."

Antrell Theater's owners, however, said that it was no longer profitable. - [2] -. So Mr. Raglan bought it for the low price they were asking, quit his job, and set about restoring it with the help of a grant from the Galtwood city council.

The work, he explains, has focused on revealing and replicating the beauty of its original design. - [3] -. At the same time, some modernizing improvements, such as better accessibility for wheelchairs, have also been made.

Mr. Raglan says he chose "A Faraway Year" , the story of a group of friends' journey through a fantastical land of witches and giants, for the theater's first show because "it's a production that people of all ages can enjoy". - [4] -. He encourages those interested in being part of its cast or crew to visit www.antrelltheater.com for more information.

nity at Osborne Rental Cars

Date : August 7

Attachment : Résumé

Dear Ms. Perry,

Thank you for contacting me. I am familiar with Osborne Rental Cars and interested in this opening. Please see my attached résumé. It will give you a fuller understanding of my career than what you saw on my profile page on Exec-Link.

However, I should tell you up front that I am content at Panella and wouldn't consider leaving for anything less than a very good opportunity. This means a situation where I have both the support of global management and the autonomy to make the best decisions for the U.S. market. If Osborne is willing to meet these conditions, I would be happy to discuss this position further.

If you do decide to move forward with my candidacy, please let me know what the next steps will be. I will be away from Atlanta on a business trip for the next few days, but I will make sure to keep up with my correspondence.

Sincerely, Rodolfo Escorza

Senior Vice President of Operations

Osborne Rental Cars Appoints New U.S. Executive

(October 22) Osborne Rental Cars has hired Rodolfo Escorza as the director of its operations in the United States. Mr. Escorza will replace Jeanette Huff, who is retiring.

Mr. Escorza has worked in many sectors of the travel and airline industries over his 23-year career. As a senior product officer for Globastic, an online seller of consumer travel products, he oversaw the creation of its popular rental car booking service. Most recently, he served as the senior vice president of operations for Panella Airlines. In that position, he built up the airline's safety ratings without increasing its operational costs. 

Osborne Rental Cars is a British company that entered the U.S. market just four years ago. It now has 18 locations and over 500 vehicles in the states of Florida and Georgia. From its national headquarters in Atlanta, Mr. Escorza is expected to lead its continued growth throughout the southeastern United States and beyond.
