What is the purpose of the talk? [originaltext]Half a year ago, our friend and c

Half a year ago, our friend and colleague Emily Moore announced her retirement from her position(99)as a senior artistic director in our theater company, and she returned to her hometown in Denver. It hasn’t been easy looking for her replacement, as you know. But today,(98)I’m very pleased to announce that we’ve found an experienced theater director with remarkable talent, James Allen. Mr. Allen currently works as a director of Panorama Theater Company in San Francisco. He started acting on the stage of Los Angeles 10 years ago. He also directed several hit shows in Morocco that proved his exceptional leadership abilities. He’s decided to work with us as a senior theater director.(100)He’ll fly in all the way from San Francisco next week to meet ail of us. And he’ll begin working with us starting next month, on the 4th of May.
