right here on the South Shore?
I’d also like to extend my gratitude to my dedicated staff: Kara McEachern, Gail
Dunford, Erin LaFleur, and Patty Cronin. This small but mighty team are the engine
behind the music. I can’t even begin to list all the things that need to be done before
the musicians even get to the stage and this team gets it all done. All while providing
the best guest experience possible and unmatched customer service.
In addition, we have a wonderful team of volunteer ushers who greet you at every
concert and make sure you get to your seats. Every one of these people are key to
producing these wonderful concerts – and I can’t thank them enough.
Enjoy the concert and we will see you next season!
