Explain your role as the general manager of the Greenwich Odeum .

I get to oversee all the behind-the-scenes action that makes our theater thrive . My role involves everything from booking events and performances to managing our fantastic staff and volunteers . I also work on marketing strategies to make sure our shows are well-attended and our community stays engaged . Keeping the theater running smoothly and ensuring every artist and patron has a great experience is a big part of my job too . I love being able to connect with our community , bring people together and make sure the Odeum is a place everyone can enjoy .

What is your favorite part of the role ?

Ronchi , General Manager of the Greenwich Odeum

What I love most about my job is bringing people together and creating unforgettable moments . There ’ s something so rewarding about seeing the excitement on people ’ s faces when they get to see their favorite band up close in such an intimate setting . It ’ s always a highlight for me when I chat with the bands afterward , and they tell me how much they loved playing here and can ’ t wait to return . That ’ s when I know we ’ re doing something really special . 59 Main St ., East Greenwich , 885-4000 , greenwichodeum . com
