Enzian Theater Announces New Executive Director

7/6/2004

Ms. O’Keef will oversee the daily operations of Enzian Theater and all special programming.

Peg is multi-faceted with extensive experience in education, arts administration, grant writing, and technical writing. She is also a well-known local performing artist, acting and directing on many stages around Central Florida. Peg’s long history of involvement with Enzian began in 1993 as the Director of the Florida Film Festival fundraiser Labyrinth of Passion: The Eden Bar. After this initial introduction to the organization, she went on to serve in many capacities, including Marketing Director, Festival Collateral Materials Director, Advisory Board Member, and in 1999, Executive Director. In the intervening years, Peg has been teaching theatre, film and writing at Rollins College.

“Enzian could not be happier or more fortunate than to be able to bring Peg back on staff full-time,” stated Enzian President, Sigrid Tiedtke, “I, personally, am thrilled because her presence will allow me to focus my energy on long-range strategic plans for the organization.”

Founded in 1985, Enzian Theater is Central Florida’s premier full-time, nonprofit cinema, exists to entertain, inspire, educate, and connect the community through film. In addition to the Florida Film Festival, Enzian annually produces numerous other mini festivals, including Jewish, South Asian, GayOrlando, and children’s events, as well as a statewide filmmakers’ showcase. Enzian also hosts meet-the-filmmaker and other events in cooperation with regional nonprofits and educational institutions.
