Maryland
Theatre Circle of Friends
 The Circle
of Friend’s goal is to have The Maryland Theatre
come alive with an energy never experienced before by planning
lively, first-class social events for the community every bit as
diversely entertaining as the programming within the theatre.
This is a creative ‘theatre think tank’ of community
members from the four state area whose fresh eyes for the arts,
sense of style, hospitality, fun, and easy congeniality combine
to make The Maryland Theatre the place to be. It provides its members
with a place to network opportunities and ideas. Simply stated,
The Circle of Friends believes The Maryland Theatre should be the
social &entertainment ‘Hub’ of the Arts and Entertainment
District whose innovative ideas will keep it hopping.

A
Letter from Our Executive Director
 It
is a brand new day at The Maryland Theatre! Our doors are open,
and on behalf of The Maryland Theatre Board of Directors and
the staff I welcome you in to our wonderful, historical Maryland
Theatre!
Since 1915, The Maryland Theatre has delighted audiences by providing
them an excellence in the performing arts second to none in this
region. For years, vaudeville filled the house with laughter until
becoming a movie "palace" in 1928 with the premier of the first
"talkie", "The Jazz Singer".
This Grande Dame has since weathered a tragic fire in 1974 and
has gone on to welcome generations of aspiring community artists
as well as casts of award winning Broadway shows, legendary comedians
such as Bob Hope, renowned musicians such as Tony Bennett through
her doors. She is more than an historic building; she is a home
to the Maryland Symphony Orchestra, The Community Concert Series,
and The Miss Maryland Pagent.
The Maryland Theatre has and will continue to be "A Stage for
All Ages" as we move forward in 2008 to continue quality programming,
welcome the Barbara Ingram School for the Arts, and anchor the
Downtown Hagerstown Arts and Entertainment District.
I encourage you to browse our new website to see how you may become
a member of The Maryland Theatre. Or view the stunning current
and vintage pictures of this historic theatre, see our past and
present artists, update your calendars with the special events
happening through The Maryland Theatre... Dream with us as to how
we may serve you or your business or community organization.
We look forward to seeing you at The Maryland Theatre and thank
you for years of generous and enthusiastic support.
Jenni Hatcher, Executive Director

A Tribute to Benny Goodman and Peggy Lee
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Amanda Carr and Everett Longstreth would make Goodman and Lee proud! Both are veteran jazz musicians. While Longstreth has played with icons including Woody Herman, Jimmy Dorsey, Nelson Riddle and Helen Forest, Carr’s sultry alto has been featured with such heavyweights as The Artie Shaw Band, The Harry James Band and The Glenn Miller Band.
