Chevalier Theater in Medford

Located in Medford, Massachusetts, the Chevalier Theatre is one of the Boston area's hidden gems, an historical landmark, a memorial to a hero and a cultural icon. The Chevalier Theatre was built in 1939 by the Works Progress Administration as part of the Medford High School complex. The Chevalier is the sixth largest theatre in the Metropolitan Boston area. Every seat was designed to be a "good one" with a clear view of the wide elliptical stage surrounding an orchestra pit with a capacity for 60 musicians. Most striking in the interior is the double elliptical ceiling with its spectacular recessed lighting, a design that adds to the enormous feeling of spaciousness and grandeur.
