NEW YORK — Jonelle Procope, the departing CEO/president of the Apollo Theater, will have a new performance space named in her honor.
Following last fall’s announcement that the award-winning executive will step down after 20 years of leadership with the storied Harlem venue, board members unveiled plans to pay her a top honor.
The 99-seat theater in The Apollo’s soon-to-be-opened expansion will be named the Procope Theater.
