Here’s a new wrinkle in the ongoing saga of Brooklyn Mirage‘s delayed reopening. Josh Wyatt, who came onboard as parent company Avant Gardner’s CEO in October of 2024, announced in March that it would reopen on May 1 after renovations and safety improvements. After Sara Landry’s May 1 show was cancelled when the venue didn’t meet a “final inspection deadline,” Wyatt was out as out as CEO. Billboard confirmed the news, which was also posted on a Reddit in an email received by employees. It reads:
Dear Avant Gardner Team,
I am communicating to you all today to share some important information. As always, do not hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have.
Effective immediately, Josh Wyatt is no longer with Avant Gardner. We appreciate Josh for his contributions and wish him the best in his future endeavors.
In the interim, Gary Richards, our non-executive Chairman of the Board, will be managing day-to-day operations for Avant Gardner. He will be supported by the key members of our leadership team. This team includes:
- Geraldine Clerfe, Director of People and Culture
- Alec Ifshin, Vice President of Finance
- Faisal Lateef, General Counsel
- Jermaine Santiago, Director of Operations
- Kenny Schachter, Director of Programming & Partnerships
- Stephen Wyker, Chief Technical Officer
Earlier this week, Brooklyn Mirage postponed its Memorial Day weekend shows.
