Enter Stage Left in Hopkinton Hires Milford Graduate

Enter Stage Left Theater in Hopkinton has hired Michael Geary of Milford as marketing manager using a grant from the Foundation for MetroWest.

Geary is a 2010 graduate of the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in North Adams.

Geary’s hiring was made possible by a capacity-building grant from the Foundation for MetroWest which allowed ESL to create the marketing job.

Geary has had an accomplished career in the arts including as a graphic artist, sculptor, actor, costume designer, set designer and director.

Since his graduation from MCLA, he has worked as a theatrical director at Enter Stage Left, Steps Off Broadway of Bellingham and Marlboro High School. 

Enter Stage Left, which offers more programming year-round for a wider variety of age groups than any other community theater in MetroWest, considers Geary’s skills a perfect fit for the creative designs necessary to promote its programs.

In 2006, the board of directors for Enter Stage Left Theater made the decision to increase its offerings from two or three shows per year and a few workshops to a full-time community theater with year-round classes and more productions. 

Since that time, under the leadership of Executive Director Kelly Grill and co-founder Mary Scarlata-Rowe the theater company has grown to produce 10 to 12 shows and offer more than 25 educational programs per year. 

Located in shared space with the Cultural Arts Alliance at 98 Hayden Rowe St. since 2010, plans are in place to renovate a barn on the site into into a multi-use arts facility, the Hopkinton Center for the Arts, with future plans for building a dedicated theater behind the barn.
