About

The Hanover Theatre and Conservatory for the Performing Arts is a complex in Worcester, Massachusetts, that includes an auditorium, where touring acts perform regularly, and several classrooms that host classes relating to the arts.

The theatre was originally built in 1904 as the Franklin Square Theatre and regularly scheduled burlesque shows, Broadway touring shows and headline acts. It transitioned to showing silent films by 1912 when vaudeville magnate Sylvester Poli purchased the theatre from the estate of Pauline L. Taylor.
