     “Michelle brings to Columbia a wealth of marketing experience along with a genuine love for the arts,” said Columbia/Fanfare Director Donna Gay Anderson. “We know she’ll be a valuable asset to our staff.”

     “The Columbia Theatre is so important to Southeastern and to the city of Hammond and I'm thrilled to be a part of that,” Biggs said. “My plan is to market the theater to a wider audience so that the people of the surrounding parishes will realize what an asset the Columbia is to the entire region."
