Outstanding Service

Outstanding Service

Our volunteers play an integral role as part of the front-of-house team during shows and performances, as well as provide invaluable ongoing support to the theatre’s administrative departments. In addition, a special group of volunteers selflessly devote their time and energy to planting, weeding, watering and maintaining the Francis R. Carroll Plaza to ensure patrons and the community may enjoy a beautiful park directly across from the theatre. At today’s Massachusetts volunteer equivalency rate, our volunteers have donated over $6 million of in-kind services, or 200,929 hours of service, to our nonprofit organization since 2008.

Congratulations to H. Carter Hunt Volunteers of the YearRichard and Linda Adams

We are pleased to recognize both Richard (Dick) and Linda Adams for their outstanding contributions to The Hanover Theatre’s volunteer program. Volunteers since the fall of 2008, Dick and Linda are very humble, claiming to be just “regular folks.” But we know that they are so much more! In addition to a full schedule of theatre events, the Adams also volunteer in the conservatory and administrative offices in a variety of ways.

As a team leader for all of our administrative volunteers, Linda continuously coordinates between her team of volunteers and the theatre’s administrative staff to assist with mailings and other office tasks. Plus, Dick comes to the theatre every Monday to sort, organize and stack bottles from the weekend’s performances so that the theatre is able to recycle them and save money. Their willingness to roll up their sleeves to complete some of the unglamorous tasks that need to be done is a testament to their dedication to service.

The Mighty Wurlitzer Organ Team provides exemplary service in maintaining the Mighty Wurlitzer Organ, a treasured musical instrument. Organist Len Beyersdorfer shares his talent during pre-show concerts, tours and theatre tours. Don Phipps, Bruce Hager and John Phipps take excellent care of the organ, so it always sounds its best, especially during our silent movies and our annual production of A Christmas Carol.

Before volunteering with the theatre, Dick worked in various Insurance institutions for over 40 years. He started at Paul Revere Life Insurance in Worcester and then went to Boston Mutual Life Insurance Company in Canton, MA. In addition to volunteering at the theatre, Dick devotes many hours to the driving duties that come along with being a grandparent. Linda worked as a nurse for 35 years; her last job was at Fallon Clinic in pediatric urgent care and primary nursing. Linda also volunteered at St. Vincent’s Hospital and at their children’s schools.

Both Dick and Linda Adams are tremendous assets to the theatre and always go above and beyond to help with anything. We are incredibly grateful to have such dedicated individuals on our team. They truly exemplify the admirable qualities demonstrated by our outstanding group of volunteers.
