A Staged Wedding

One of the things many people do not realize about the theatre is that we have the ability to host weddings at our theatre.  It never occurred to me - a HUGE theatre geek- that I could be married on stage, but it is possible at THT.


One of the coolest things about having a wedding at the theatre is that you really are treated like a star!  With our star dressing rooms and backstage waiting rooms the bride can really feel like an A-lister.  I know if I am still working here by the time I have a rock on my finger I will definitely be looking to book a wedding!


I know this isn't a look at behind the scenes this week - but I promise next week's blog post will make up for it.  I don't want to give away all the juicy details, but I will have a chance to "learn the ropes" and report back to you regarding the Peter Pan show starring Ms. Cathy Rigby!!  So expect great things next week!


Speaking of Peter Pan - if you haven't gotten your tickets yet, there are still some great seats available - so don't miss out!  Hope to see you all there at the show :)

Fall Flowers

As the seasons change, so must the foliage.  And at The Hanover Theatre that means the flowers must change too.  Many of you may have noticed at the Cake Boss show, or perhaps this weekend when you went to see Young Frankenstein that the flowers in the Carroll Plaza have been changed out to match our cooler weather.  Beautiful orange, yellow and purple mums and green and purple kale have taken over the walk way, all due to our WONDERFUL Gardening Club.






At The Hanover Theatre a huge amount of man power comes solely from our volunteers.  An amazing group of over 200 people come together each year to keep the theatre in its best condition.  One of my favorite groups of volunteers is the gardening club.  This summer, they came out on the hottest day of spring - durring the heat wave - to plant a spread of beautiful perennials.  And once again in the fall they took over the landscape and transformed it for the seasons. 

It likely has to do with the fact that I worked as a florist for a while before THT, but I really have come to appreciate the special atmosphere that lives outside the theatre.  Its easy to get lost in the grey and brick landscape that is downtown Worcester, and the garden outside The Hanover Theatre brings a fresh and fun feeling.


Pretty soon it will be time to string up the white lights onto the trees that make entering the theatre for an evening show something truly special.


Before I end this post, I would like to take a moment to congratulate the cast of Young Frankenstein, who came out strong for the first shows of their tour this past weekend. I loved the show, and I can't wait to get our next Mel Brooks classic!
