In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Kercheval will assume leadership from Jessica Green, who has guided The Maryland Theatre through a significant phase of development and expansion. Green is scheduled to collaborate with Kercheval over the next two months to facilitate a seamless transition of responsibilities. The Board of Directors expressed confidence in Kercheval’s capabilities, citing his established track record in team building, organizational strengthening, and fostering community involvement. These attributes are seen as crucial for the theater’s future endeavors, which include presenting a varied array of performances, ensuring financial stability, and preserving the historic venue for future audiences.
The Maryland Theatre, established in 1915, is a recognized cultural landmark in Hagerstown. The venue has a history of hosting prominent performers, community gatherings, and even making an appearance in the film *Guarding Tess*. Currently, it continues to provide diverse entertainment, educational programs, and cultural events that cater to audiences throughout the Four-State region. Residents can anticipate that this leadership transition aims to further enhance the cultural offerings and operational sustainability of this historic institution.
