The Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts will be presenting several American Sign Language interpreted shows which includes one that will also have enhanced audio description. In addition, the theatre always offers assistive listening devices available at the box office for any performance.
The theatre, located in downtown Worcester, is recognized by Pollstar as one of the Top 50 Theatres in the World. After undergoing many name changes and renovations over the decades since its 1926 birth, The Hanover Theatre reopened in March 2008 following a $32 million historic restoration. Since then, the theatre has won numerous honors, including The National Trust for Historic Preservation Award.
