Hanover Theater


In the main square of Hanover is an art deco movie theater that has been closed since the 1980's. Although now dilapidated, it obviously was beautiful in its prime. The Hanover Evening Sun today ran an article that said the theater has been purchased by a group that is in the process of restoring it with the intent of re-opening it late next year. The group intends to use it as a center to celebrate all areas of the performing arts. I hope that includes using it as a movie house. Classic theaters such as this have had a hard time staying open. Nonetheless, this is very exciting for a town that is growing but has seen little of this affect the center of the community. Here is a link to the website about the project.

I hear that as well. Apparently, people really see that building as the lynchpin to downtown revitilization. It really is good news for the borough.
