Somerville Theatre – Somerville, MA Tickets
Discover the Iconic Somerville Theatre
The Somerville Theatre has been a cornerstone of New England’s arts and entertainment scene since its grand opening in 1914. Located in the vibrant Davis Square neighborhood of Somerville, Massachusetts, this historic venue offers a rare blend of old-world charm and modern performance excellence. Originally constructed as a vaudeville house and movie palace, the Somerville Theatre has gracefully evolved to host a wide spectrum of live performances, film screenings, comedy shows, and concerts—without losing the charm of its early 20th-century roots.
The building itself is a treasure, featuring preserved architectural details like the original proscenium arch, vintage lighting, and plush theater seating. It’s a favorite haunt for both locals and visitors seeking high-quality entertainment in an intimate setting. With a capacity of just under 900 seats, the theater provides an up-close-and-personal experience whether you’re watching an indie film, listening to a live band, or laughing along with top comedians.
Few venues manage to combine nostalgia, modern sound, and community engagement the way the Somerville Theatre does. It’s not just a venue—it’s an experience.
