Fenway Theatre, Movie theater and music venue in Back Bay, Boston, United States.
Fenway Theatre was an entertainment venue near Boylston Street with seating for 1600 people. Its interior featured marble surfaces and velvet decorations that created an elegant backdrop for films and live performances.
The building was designed by architect Thomas W. Lamb in 1915 and served as a movie theater and performance venue for decades. In 1972 Berklee College of Music purchased the property and transformed it into a performance center in 1976.
The space hosted regular performances by orchestras and visiting artists, making it a gathering place for people seeking live entertainment in the neighborhood. This role shaped how locals understood and valued the arts in their community.
The building sits in a central Boston location with good public transportation connections, making it easy to reach on foot from nearby neighborhoods. Access is straightforward for visitors who want to explore the surrounding area.
During a 1929 film screening the theater manager intentionally released lilac scent through the ventilation system. This unusual tactic was meant to surprise and enchant the audience during their visit.
