Everett Square Theater, Hyde Park, MA
According to 1915 building department records, the Everett Square Theatre was built as a “moving picture house.” However, it is clear that it also hosted live vaudeville, musical, and other performances. In fact, comic actor Milton Berle signed a backstage wall after his performance there on May 29, 1925. A slow decline of the building throughout the 20th century culminated with its closing in the mid 1980s, and its interior condition has continued to deteriorate since then.
The Historic Neighborhood Centers program has brought new energy and focus to the goal of bringing this important Hyde Park asset back to life. Based on planning work completed in the last several months, the theatre’s owners, supported by HBI and other local stakeholders, plan to restore the missing “Everett Sq. Theatre” sign that originally hung over the entry and to re-open the theatre’s boarded up foyer to create space for dynamic art installations, displays, and events that will help revive awareness of the building and build support for its eventual rehabilitation.
