As director of the Performing Arts Center at Georgia Southern University, Carol Thompson is well known for introducing each of the PAC's performances, taking the stage in a fancy gown for a few moments before the curtain rises. But for the last show under her charge as the PAC's director, Thompson will not introduce the show live. She'll be behind the curtain, getting ready to resume the role she is best known for in the Statesboro arts scene: Daisy Werthan, in "Driving Miss Daisy."
