Larcom Theatre, Massachusetts, United States
4.5 (38 reviews) Spent 2-3 hours Ranking #4 in Beverly Theaters
Musical entertainment and live plays
Less than 24 miles from Boston, the fully restored Larcom Theatre is located in downtown Beverly, MA This gracious showplace featuring spectacular acoustics was built in 1912 (the same year as Fenway Park) by Harris and Glover Ware, two brothers and former vaudeville musicians from Marblehead, MA. For their new theatre, they chose the birth site of one of America's most widely read nineteenth-century poetesses, Lucy Larcom. After seven years of wowing audiences with his magic production at the 1920 Cabot Street Cinema Theatre (just 4 blocks away), Cesareo Pelaez, the founder of the Le Grand David stage magic ensemble, purchased the Larcom in 1984. Larcom's elegant horseshoe balcony, hand-painted antique pressed tin ceilings and original silk wall coverings take you back in time. In September 2016, a local couple from Beverly purchased the theatre and transformed it into a multi-arts venue enriching the community with music, dance, theatre, comedy, variety shows, and more.

A Local Hidden Gem!
I found this place when looking for tour dates of a favourite comedian. I've lived in Beverly for most of my life and never knew it was here! I have since been to 4 shows at the Larcom. The history of the place is palpable. Its beautiful in there! Although small, it was not uncomfortable. Even when sitting in the back row, the stage is not far away. Will definitely continue to see shows here.

Great venu
We are lucky in the area to have a place like this to see live entertainment so close to home. It is a great venu. Comfy large seating. Thanks for being there!
