our affordable entertainment options.” One of the most exciting prospects at Hempstead Hall is the fantastic space available for future artists and crowds to enjoy outdoor shows, which is the motivation behind expanding their amphitheater concerts in the coming years. Of course, a lot goes into booking and arranging events and performances. The Hall’s staff works hard to bring a variety of entertainment that will interest different people. Lance is hopeful that “they have built good relationships with a handful of agents who represent their core market.” She explained, “I reach out to them to see if a certain artistic genre is available for a certain time frame, and other times they reach out to me with specific dates they need to fill on their end, and I’ll try to make those work for us. For example, we hosted Pat Green last June, and it was a treat to have his manager and his agent on-site for that concert at our amphitheater. They were both impressed with the facility and since, have stayed in contact about other possibilities.” Hempstead Hall not only brings opportunities for a variety of entertainment and events to our area, but it benefits the community by bringing in revenue from visitors near and far. The opportunities provided to students, businesses and residents in the area are countless.
