The Antaeus Company, one of Los Angeles' preeminent theaters, has been undergoing upheaval for the past two weeks, as a group of company members has ousted its artistic director from office. At the end of June, Jeanie Hackett was voted out of her leadership position after eight years and given the afternoon to clear her belongings from her desk at the theater in North Hollywood. Whether this giant of a company will retain its earthly footing is now in the hands of its new leadership. Company members Kitty Swink and Bill Brochtrup, who had been the associate artistic directors, are serving as co–artistic directors.In its 20-year history, the classical theater ensemble has attracted some of the city's great talents to its ranks. Many of its actors are well known onscreen and in theaters nationwide, and some of the city's finest directors and designers have given their artistry to Antaeus productions.
