Uniquely New England: Worcester's Olympia Theatre
There’s construction all around Worcester, Massachusetts. While most are focused on what will be new, one couple is focused on something old: the Olympia Theatre, which was first opened in 1891. It later became a movie theater but has been abandoned, shuttered and neglected for the last 13 years. But Patrick Flynn and Jennifer Wright see its potential. They say it’s perfect for music. It could be a working man’s music hall, they say, but they need to secure more funding in order to remodel and reopen this piece of Worcester history.
