David Hegarty has officially been playing the organ at the Castro theater since 1978. As the senior organist at the theater Hegarty has played on a variety of organs, such as the Mighty Wurlitzer, which was rented to the Castro theatre back in the '80s.
When he found out that the theater might loose the Wurlitzer, Hegarty made it his life mission to bring a world class concert organ to take its place. He is still in the process of raising funds to make this dream a reality.
