Guest Blog: Eichelberger Performing Arts Center

posted on behalf of Eichelberger Performing Arts Center

April was Volunteer Appreciation Month across America and Eichelberger Performing Arts Center in Hanover has some of the finest!  They are at every performance to greet you, usher you to your seat, offer concessions, answer your questions, address your concerns, sell you a ticket and tidy up after the show.  Their dedication is impressive-show after show; season after season; year after year.  They show up when asked, always with a smile and a desire to do whatever they can to ensure each patron has a great experience at The Eich and wants to return again and again.

It has been a very l-o-n-g year since COVID forced us to stay home and stay safe.  While we were away our staff was busy with behind the scenes improvements of the theatre.  Our 23 year old dressing rooms were refreshed with new carpeting, paint, and energy efficient lighting.  A new Advanced Air Purification System has been installed in the theatre which kills bacteria and virus on surfaces and in the air.  CDC guidelines are given priority for the safety of our guests.  As volunteers we are anxious to get back to our jobs too.  David Adler, our Executive Director, has been busy scheduling, cancelling, rescheduling and booking shows for the Fall Season.  Acts of Kindness, a local theatre company, will be returning with their summer blockbuster, “SpongeBob Squarepants, the Musical” in late July/early Aug. A preview of our Fall Season performances can be found on our website TheEich.org.
