Anthony Kenney has over 30 years experience in the professional entertainment and recording business. He has lived all his life in the Glasgow-Barren County area, and is a Graduate of Barren County High School. As a young man, he was always intrigued by the Plaza, and saw many of the movies that inspired him to pursue a career in the entertainment business. Countless Elvis and Beatles films, Help, Hard Days Night, and the animated Yellow Submarine.

In 1984 Anthony married Nancy Mason and they have one daughter Lauren, who has played the lead in several local theatrical productions at the Plaza. In 1988 he took a spot as lead guitarist for country music star Ronnie Mcdowell, touring, recording and writing on several of Mcdowell’s album projects. In 1991 he accepted the position as bassist/vocalist, co-producer with Grammy award winning The Kentucky Headhunters, where he wrote and recorded eight album projects, appeared on countless television shows, and toured all of the U.S. and Canada. He remained there until the summer of 2007, when he accepted the position of Director at The Plaza. He has always had his own recording studio, has been involved in the technical aspect of music for his whole career, and continues to perform, write and record when time allows.

Volunteers serve as the backbone to operations here at the Plaza Theatre, particularly in the presentation of events.

There are only two full-time staff members at the Plaza Theatre. This is not enough personnel to run a 1,000+ restored historic theatre, especially when it is full of Patrons. So the Plaza Theatre relies heavily on its Volunteer base, which currently includes over 60 Volunteers.

Volunteers serves as ushers, ticket scanners, ticket sellers, greeters, and more at performances. Volunteers also help out the Plaza Theatre during business hours by doing light office work, such as filing, answering the phone, selling tickets and data entry.

If you are interested in becoming a Volunteer here at the Plaza, please go to our Volunteer section of the web site.
