This venue is not to be confused with the Little Theatre on the nearby campus of WPI (Worcester Polytechnic Institute,) in Sanford Riley Hall.

A lot of seats for a little theatre.

The Worcester Memorial Auditorium was designed by New York architect Frederic Charles Hirons in collaboration with the Worcester firm L. W. Briggs Company (Lucius Wallace Briggs.)

The “Little Theatre” sign is still in place above the entrance to the house. The approximate address would be 62 Harvard Street.

“Can Worcester’s Little Theatre be saved?”

An unattributed comment I found a while back regarding some history of this theatre: “Historical dramas in Arabic were performed until the mid-1930s, when Arabic films rented from New York replaced them. These films were shown in the downtown Little Theatre adjoining the Worcester Memorial Auditorium (now Worcester AUD) until the early 1950s.”
