The Conservatory’s engagement initiatives reach 16,000 students in the community each year through student matinees and school-based programming. Established in 2017, the Conservatory cultivates individual attention, ignites creativity and inspires confidence through arts education led by outstanding teaching artists. The state-of-the-art facility includes classrooms, rehearsal and teaching studios, and tech and costume labs for advanced education in stage craft and design. In addition to the permanent faculty, Conservatory students have access to workshops and master classes with guest artists from national touring productions. The Conservatory offers need-based scholarships to ensure access to arts education regardless of financial means. Many Conservatory students have continued their pursuit of the arts at institutions such as Emerson College, Boston University, NYU, Boston Conservatory at Berklee, Berklee College of Music, Hofstra, Hartt School at the University of Hartford, Marymount Manhattan College, Syracuse University and more.

The Hanover Theatre and Conservatory is committed to an environment of mutual respect where equal employment opportunities are available to all applicants and teammates.
