Celebrity CEO
Celebrity Attractions has named Kristin Dotson as its chief executive officer, effective July 1, succeeding retiring CEO Ed. L. Payton. Dotson, a 23-year veteran of the firm, has headed up the company's Tulsa office, and until 2015 served as senior marketing director, when she began booking national Broadway tours.
Payton took over the company following the February 2013 death of his brother, founder Larry Payton. The Tulsa-based presenter has booked shows into Little Rock since it bought out the Broadway Theatre Series from Marilyn Weinstein and her husband, Eugene, in 1997. It also takes touring shows to Tulsa; Springfield, Mo.; and Lubbock, Amarillo and Abilene, Texas.
