THE TEAM

TIM ENRIGHT
OWNER

DAD BIO.webp

Tim was born and raised on the southwest side of  Chicago. Many of his earliest memories trace back to the cottage in  Michiana Shores that his family made their summer home growing up. His  lifelong dream was to ultimately become a Michigan  City resident and make those memories a full time reality. Given Tim's  31 year success with his manufacturing business, the family was able to  build their dream home in 2001. Tim, his wife Patty, and four children now call Michigan City home. 

        Tim's initial interest in revitalizing the Uptown  Theater stemmed from his philanthropic involvement with the Beverly Arts  Center in Chicago and his family's foundation that supports various  initiatives including servicing the elderly,  the arts community and people in need within local communities. He is  confident that Michigan City has all the makings to become a premier  location for events, arts, and entertainment.

OWNER

ASHLEY BIO.webp

Ashley was born and raised in Louisville Kentucky and now calls Chicago  home. Ashley's husband Nick and their four children spend summers  visiting the Beachwalk community located a stones throw away from the  historic downtown district of Michigan City. 

        Prior to being hired as the  35th employee at Chicago based Groupon, Ashley ran a wedding and event  planning business. When the Uptown Theater opportunity arose she viewed  it as an exciting, yet challenging, project to reengage her original  passion.
       The LoMaglio's also have a 501c3 nonprofit that is dedicated to  educating the next generation of students on the proper path to  professional success. Community involvement is a big motivator for many  of the things the LoMaglio family does when exploring new opportunities.  

        Ashley is most excited to see the new event space unfold into a  gathering spot that provides a boost of entertainment to Franklin Ave  and its residents.

As the General Manager of Uptown Social, Judy brings 20 years of event creation, production and management, coupled with many years of administrative team leadership, Judy's warm and friendly demeaner is matched by her attention to detail and her commitment to serve our community, guests, employees and authentic local artists.  Hired in 2019 as the (former) Uptown Center’s Venue/General Manager, Judy has shown, that whether it be managing weddings and other numerous events, or devoting her day to office management, time and team building, or her effort at community relationship building, she has proven to be a critical thinking problem solver and avid multitasker.

One of the greatest compliments a venue manager can receive is a glowing review from a valued client, “Jeremy and Judy made sure our day was exactly what we wanted from the very first meeting through the end of the reception. Their ability to help us envision the day, keep details in order, attend to the needs of our venders, and keep us at the forefront and focus was outstanding." (J. and B. Love 1/18/20)

Uptown Social is planted within – it’s 1867 building housed within Michigan City’s incredible Uptown Arts District!
