Executive Director Jessica Green will be stepping down this fall after more than a decade at the helm, with plans to join her family’s construction business. Her departure marks the end of a tenure that saw major renovations, increased community engagement, and financial stability for the historic venue.

We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.

Green’s time leading The Maryland Theatre included overseeing the construction of a new events space and grand lobby, guiding a capital campaign, and navigating the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. She also played a pivotal role in expanding the Theatre’s programming and community reach, celebrating both the 100th and 110th anniversaries during her leadership. Her efforts helped solidify the Theatre’s reputation as a cornerstone of the Hagerstown Arts and Entertainment District.
To ensure a smooth transition, Green is expected to remain in her role through the fall while the search for a new executive director gets underway. A search committee has been established by the Theatre’s Board President, Beth Dellaposta, and the job posting will be made available primarily through social media and the Theatre’s official website.
