Ricky Gerber, 20, of West Bend is the new manager of the West Bend Cinema.
A 2014 graduate of West Bend West High School, Gerber is taking a year off school to regroup. He said, when the managerial position opened he jumped at it.
“I’ve worked at the theater since I was 16 and I have a couple ideas of where I’d like to take this place,” he said.
Gerber was very hands on during Phase 1 of the cleanup of the theater. “I know what it was like in the past and we’re just trying to move forward,” he said.
The new theater seating is still a hot topic. Gerber said, that will be in Phase II of the revamping of the theater. He hopes the new seats will be installed in late summer to early fall.
