Livability Media | An Encore for Hanover Theatre in Worcester
By Wesley Broome on September 4, 2024:
As a venue for the performing arts, The Hanover Theatre in Worcester has its origins as a vaudeville theater built in 1926. After the theater fell into disrepair, Worcester businessmen Ed Madaus and Paul Demoga began the passion project of bringing the theater back to life.
For Troy Siebels, who was involved in the project early on, this was just the beginning of a decades-long journey with The Hanover Theatre, where he served as CEO for 20 years.
With a background in theater production, Siebels ran the Greater Boston Stage Company and has always had a love for the performing arts. The absence of The Hanover Theatre struck him as a loss for the community.
“There was no place in Worcester where you could go see a touring Broadway show the way you can in Boston or Hartford or Providence,” Siebels says. “It felt like a gap in the artistic community.”
Today, The Hanover Theatre in Worcester annually hosts up to seven Broadway productions, with concerts, comedy shows and more in between. The Broadway shows draw up to 150,000 people each year, serving as an engine for arts and economy across Worcester.
“I believe that theater is still as relevant as it’s ever been,” Siebels says.
