Mary C. DeFeudis Performance Studio

Comprising of two adjoining studios (1A & 1B), separated by a removable wall, the Mary C. DeFeudis Performance Studio offers our largest space, comparable to The Hanover Theatre’s mainstage. A sprung marley floor, ballet barres and mirrors are standard in all of our studios, but this space can also be used as a small black box theater. Studio 1B features theatrical lighting and sound, allowing it to be used as a mini stage while Studio 1A can seat a small audience of 75. In addition to classes, this sizeable studio will be utilized to offer on-site master classes with visiting productions. Rehearsals for the theatre’s Youth Summer Programs and annual production of A Christmas Carol will be held in this studio each summer and winter.

Slightly larger than the practice rooms, the music room is equipped with a keyboard and provides an additional space for private vocal lessons or small group rehearsals.

Resource Room

The resource room will be a space primarily for staff, but will include a library of scripts for students to use in preparation for auditions or scene studies.

Wardrobe Room

Housing the theatre’s supply of costumes, this sizeable closet provides an organized array of costumes for a variety of shows and time periods. This new space will allow the theatre to begin renting its inventory to local area groups and productions.
