Thank you for your generosity! The arts change lives!
“You change lives every day and make a home for many kids who, like me, felt lost and alone.” These words were written to me by a young woman impacted by our conservatory programs. They are such a powerful expression of gratitude—something that has been on my mind more than ever this year. I’m grateful that, in spite of everything that the pandemic threw at us, we gave thousands of young people the opportunity to experience the life-changing power of the arts. I am especially grateful for the generous Access to the Arts donors who made these activities like these possible: • 12 high school students created and performed an original piece of theatre celebrating their life experiences in our first Worcester Youth Speak Honestly (WYSH) Project. • 20 elementary school children from the Worcester Public Schools attended a free musical theatre summer camp created just for them. • 100 Worcester Public School students enrolled in free online acting and dance classes. • 15,000 students had access to curriculum-rich performances through our Virtual Student Matinees. • $50,000 in need-based conservatory scholarships were awarded to deserving families. The Access to the Arts Fund provides vital support for our school partnerships, community engagement activities, and conservatory programs that serve more than 15,000 young people every year, many of whom would otherwise not have opportunities to participate in the arts. Thank you to the Access to the Arts Donors who helped us keep the arts in the lives of so many young people this year!

If you have lost an item, please contact the box office as soon as possible to make a report. You will then be contacted if the item has been found. Retrieval of the item is the responsibility of the customer. Items not claimed within 30 days will be donated or disposed of without compensation. Prohibited items and activities which are prohibited include (but are not limited to): smoking, weapons, outside food or drinks, camera or recording devices, cell phones not silenced or set to vibrate, laser pointers, disruptive or abusive language, pets (except those assisting persons with disabilities), and persons exhibiting intoxication or drug use. Offenders may be removed from the theatre without compensation.| Rental of Theatre and Event Spaces: The Hanover Theatre is available for appropriate organizations and activities. Please contact our special events coordinator at 508.471.1799 or specialevents@ thehanovertheatre.org for further information. Resale of Tickets for Profit: Ticket holders may on occasion be in a position where they have purchased tickets that they later cannot personally use and will want to donate, give, trade or sell these tickets to friends or acquaintances. Management does not discourage private transactions of this nature. However, we may take appropriate actions to thwart the organized resale of tickets for profit by third parties, which we do not condone. The public is advised to be careful purchasing tickets from individuals they do not know personally, as such tickets may be void and in such cases admission to the theatre will be denied without compensation. Standing Room: All persons entering the theatre must have a valid ticket, and are not allowed to stand in the back or aisles. Ushers: The Hanover Theatre uses a dedicated and trained force of volunteer ushers that seat and assist our guests. If you would like to volunteer, please email volunteer@thehanovertheatre.org.
We offer wheelchair accessibility at all shows. We offer ASL sponsored by FLEXcon and audio description services at specific performances during our season. For complete information, visit TheHanoverTheatre.org/plan-your-visit/accessibility.
