In an announcement released Tuesday, the board stated that it was no longer able to serve the needs of the organization going forward.

"The organization remains solvent and critically successful.  We hope that the company and school will continue to succeed in the hands of a new board and the artistic director," the announcement stated.

A request for further comment from Houlton went unanswered at the time of this writing.
