Outstanding Service Last year, 278 individual volunteers served 27,445 hours. In total, The Hanover Theatre volunteers have donated over $6.8 million of in-kind services to our nonprofit organization since 2008! The theatre volunteers play an integral part with the front-of-house team during shows and performances, as well as supporting the theatre’s administrative departments with ongoing clerical and management needs. The beauty of the Francis R. Carroll Plaza, directly across from the theatre, is attributed to a special group of theatre volunteers who selflessly devote their time and energy in planting, weeding, watering and maintaining this lovely park for the benefit of our patrons and the community.
Marshall Tate H. Carter Hunt Volunteer of the Year We are pleased to recognize Marshall Tate for his outstanding contributions to The Hanover Theatre’s volunteer program. Marshall has been volunteering with us since the fall of 2013 and has contributed over 880 hours of volunteer service. In addition to volunteering as an usher he has shown passion and devotion to sharing the history of the theatre as a docent tour guide. Last year he was a tour guide for over ten Historic and Architectural Tours, served as an usher at 27 shows and provided over 65 hours of administrative assistance. Marshall even helped our facilities department with several painting and maintenance jobs over the summer. Marshall takes his role as both an event volunteer and a docent tour guide seriously. His outstanding customer service to our patrons is unparalleled. In addition to his exceptional customer service, Marshall goes above and beyond to learn as much as possible about the theatre history to enrich the experience for our patrons attending the Historic and Architectural Tours. Before volunteering with the theatre, Marshall worked in various financial and IT positions at Honeywell Information Systems. He also worked for three years as a senior business system analyst for Parexel Corporation. He volunteers for the Mass Audubon’s Wachusett Meadow Wildlife Sanctuary in Princeton, Massachusetts and for the town of Berlin counting votes and interviewing potential Berlin police officers. Marshall is a tremendous asset to the theatre and always goes the distance to help out in many different ways. We are so grateful to have such an enthusiastic individual on our team. His desire to help us grow and thrive truly exemplifies the admirable qualities of our outstanding volunteer staff.
