After 11 years, Ray Marshall has announced he is resigning as general manager of Showplace Performance Centre in downtown Peterborough.

According to a post yesterday (August 1) on his Facebook page, the 64-year-old Marshall handed in his resignation last week.

“It is time to check out new roads for me,” Marshall writes. “I hope for great things for Showplace and everyone there.”

Marshall’s departure from Showplace comes while the venue is in summer hiatus before its fall season begins. There’s no word yet on when Showplace will be seeking a new general manager.

Tickets for upcoming shows are available exclusively online at www.showplace.org. The next show at Showplace is the Peterborough Folk Festival’s kick-off concert with Buffy-Sainte Marie on August 18th.
