WEST HARLEM — The Apollo Theater is certainly happy.
R&B mogul Pharrell Williams and New England Patriots Owner Robert Kraft have joined the iconic theater’s board of directors, along with four other new members.
Goldman Sachs Managing Director Jason L. Mathews, lawyer Carolyn Minick Mason, software pioneer Charles Phillips and event design leader Bronson van Wyck round out the list of new members, who will make suggestions on everything from education and community programming to fundraising.
“It is such a wonderfully diverse group of professionals, each representing the very best in their respective field,” Richard Parsons, chairman of the Apollo’s board of directors, said in a statement.
“I know that the collective knowledge and insight of these new board members will be a wonderful and valuable addition as we guide the theater forward.”
