Jono Davis has been involved in theatre for most of his life, and he feels it’s all been leading up to his latest appointment.
The Stockbridge native, who for the last eight-plus years has served as artist director and manager of Cobb PARKS’ Jennie T. Anderson Theatre in Marietta, has been named the Lawrenceville-based Aurora Theatre’s complex general manager and will assume his new duties the week of Feb. 18.
