Take a seat.
Theatre has always been a place of connection, transformation, and discovery. A place where stories unfold, where we see ourselves and others in a new light, and where we are moved... sometimes to laughter, sometimes to tears, but always to something greater than ourselves.
This season, The Hanover Theatre invites you to take your seat in a year unlike any other. Whether you are a longtime subscriber or joining us for the first time, you’ll find more ways than ever to experience the magic of live performance.
Our beloved Broadway Series returns, bringing worldclass productions to Worcester. We are thrilled to introduce a brand-new Dance Series, celebrating movement, and artistry in its many forms. And for the first time, you can subscribe to The Hanover Theatre Repertory (THT Rep), our professional theatre company dedicated to creating work right here, for and with our community.
No matter which series you choose, whether one or all three, this is for you. The lights dim, the curtain rises, and in that moment, we are all part of something extraordinary.
I invite you to discover, to be inspired, and perhaps, to be changed.
See you at the theatre,
Alan Seiffert President & CEO
