The Astor Theatre Society in Liverpool will have a new chairman in 2025.
Eric Goulden will take over on Jan. 1, as head of the board that oversees the Astor Theatre.
The resident of Beach Meadows is a community volunteer and retired entrepreneur, originally from Ontario. Since buying a house here with his wife Karen in 2013, he has developed and restored many older buildings on Liverpool’s Main Street and in Milton.
He’s been a full-time Queens County resident since September 2020.
Goulden says he’s looking forward to heading the board for the next few years.
He’s replacing John Simmonds, who has been chairman of the Astor board since 2020. Simmonds helmed the board through Covid and helped revitalize the theatre. He was also chairman during the theatre’s tumultuous past year, with the resignation of popular director and producer Ashley-Rose Goodwin.
