Eichelberger Performing Arts Center Welcomes New Executive Director
Hanover, Pennsylvania - This May, the Eichelberger Performing Arts Center welcomed a new executive director, Amanda Beck, who is excited to be a part of the performing arts industry at the Eichelberger.
Amanda is a native of the area. She was born and raised in York County and has now resided in Adams County for the past 25 years. As a little girl, she watched her cousin perform at what was then called York Little Theatre (now the Belmont), which sparked her love for the performing arts. She started her career as a teenager at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire and has since worked for several notable theatres. She helped with the grand re-openings of both the Majestic Theater in Gettysburg in 2005 and Ford's Theatre in 2009. After spending several years in DC, she took on the role of Operations Manager at the Appell Center for the Performing Arts in York, PA. She stepped away from the theatre for a few years to work in the events industry, but is thrilled to be back and to bring her talent and experience to the Eichelberger! Her depth of experience in different positions in the performing arts will bring valuable leadership, industry knowledge, and a comprehensive understanding of arts administration to Eichelberger.
“We are thrilled to welcome Amanda as our new Executive Director. We are confident that she will use her extensive experience and knowledge to do great things for the Eich,” said Mark Riggs, President of the EPAC Board of Directors.
The Eichelberger Performing Arts Center is so excited to have her join the team. She brings excellent knowledge and has so many goals for Eichelberger's future to bring more performing arts to the Hanover community.
