Fun Facts

The Cabot Theatre opened in 1920 as a vaudeville and silent movie house, known then as the Ware Theatre.

The theatre showcases a blend of Colonial Revival and Beaux-Arts architectural styles, reflecting the grandeur of early 20th-century design.

The theatre houses an original 1920s Wurlitzer organ, one of the few remaining in the country, used for silent film accompaniment and concerts.

After its initial years as a movie palace, the Cabot Theatre transitioned to a performing arts venue, hosting concerts, comedy shows, and community events.

In 2014, local residents and philanthropists rallied to purchase and restore the theatre, ensuring its continued operation as a cultural hub.

The theatre is a cornerstone of Beverly's cultural landscape, offering a diverse range of performances and educational programs.

The iconic marquee, a staple of the theatre's façade, has been restored to its original 1920s appearance, complete with vibrant neon lights.
