WPCNR STAGE DOOR. By John F. Bailey. January 9, 2006: Eli Schonberger, longtime patron of the arts in White Plains, pioneer and benefactor of the Sculpture Garden at the White Plains Public Library, told WPCNR today that he had resigned from being a member of the White Plains Performing Arts Center Board of Directors three months ago.
Mr. Schonberger said he no longer could devote the time to the White Plains Performing Arts Center. He told WPCNR he is concentrating on lining up new massive sculpture works for the Library's outdoor display by September of this year.

As of Monday morning the WPPAC website lists Mr. Schonberger as a member of the WPPAC Board of Directors on the WPPAC website. The site continues to list The Girls Room and Charlie's Place as the WPPAC's spring productions, though the box office Friday told WPCNR they had been postponed and other shows are reportedly under consideration.
