Norwood Theatre

The Norwood Theatre is a performing arts center located at 109 Central Street in Norwood, Massachusetts, United States. Originally built in 1926–1927 by the Premier Theatre Company and designed by Norwood native William G. Upham, the venue features a 20th-century Spanish Romanesque architectural style. It seats 731 audience members, with 449 seats in the auditorium and 282 in the balcony, and is equipped with state-of-the-art sound and lighting consoles as well as a retractable 31’x15’ movie screen. After coming under its current ownership in 2010, the theatre underwent a careful two-year restoration that included modern additions such as a geothermal climate control system and an energy-efficient elevator. It reopened on August 31, 2012, exactly 85 years after the original opening. Today, the Norwood Theatre presents a diverse season of live entertainment, including concerts, comedy shows, and film screenings, and is handicap accessible to both patrons and performers. Tickets are sold through the official website norwoodstage.com and authorized seller OvationTix, with the box office located at the theatre’s front doors.
