Kristen Kresge, Marketing & Office Manager
Kristen is a communications specialist with a rich background in digital and broadcast media. Before Vinegar Hill, she worked as a Promotions Director for an eight-station local radio group and as the Communications Manager for a Portland-based PR firm.
Throughout Kristen’s career moves, she’s always maintained a deep-rooted love for curating thoughtful experiences, both online and in-person. “In a world that’s constantly clouded with bad news and heavy headlines, it’s important to have community spaces that allow you to safely share experiences with strangers and loved ones. The memories I have from attending concerts and intimate events are some of my fondest, and I feel beyond fortunate for the opportunity to help create those pockets of happiness for future patrons of Vinegar Hill!”
Kristen currently resides in Portland with her fur-baby, Ruby (pictured), and when she’s not at Vinegar Hill, you can find her out with her pup exploring one of Maine’s many trails.

Jack Murray, Technical Director
Jack Murray has been with Vinegar Hill Music Theatre since it’s inception after his company Ocean AVL was trusted with the audio, video, and lighting installation in 2016. As the Technical Director he is tasked with ensuring the systems are running smoothly and that the artist’s equipment needs are taken care of prior to arrival and while on stage performing. A Maine native and resident of Portland Jack has been a part of the Southern Maine music scene for two decades. While he enjoys the fast paced environment that operating an entertainment production company entails, he’s most happy behind the audio console mixing shows at Vinegar Hill.
