Bill began his
career in show business at age 19, leasing and developing movie
theatres,
including his first multiplex in Quincy, Massachusetts. Before long, he
was booking
rock shows (Jefferson Starship, Rush) and other types of live
entertainment,
which eventually led to the presenting and producing of Broadway
productions.
One such show was an appearance by the legendary mime artist, Marcel
Marceau. As
president of Broadway Productions, Bill presented national tours such as
Annie, Amadeus, Dancin', Peter Pan, Rocky
Horror Picture Show and Mark
Twain starring Hal Holbrook, throughout New England including
Worcester, Springfield,
Portland, Maine
and Boston. One
of his crowning achievements was the opening of the 800 seat South Shore
Performing Arts Center, where he produced a touring
production of A Chorus Line, one of
his favorite Broadway musicals, which played in several cities in the
northeast.
Throughout his career, Bill has stayed focused on his movie theatre
chain having
bought, built, owned, operated and sold more than 30 cinemas. His
company,
Entertainment Cinemas, currently operates ten movie complexes in four
states,
including an eight screen cinema in South Kingstown, RI. Bill is currently the president of the THeatre Owners of New England. In 2007, Bill purchased and reopened Theatre By The Sea (Matunuck, RI), this was both a new beginning and a return to familiar territory - one that has
inspired
him to consider acquiring additional performance venues.In 2010 Bill purchased North Shore Music Theatre (Beverly, MA).
