The Power 50: Troy Siebels

TROY SIEBELS

President & CEO

The Hanover Theatre and Conservatory for the Performing Arts, Worcester

Residence: Shrewsbury

College: North Carolina School of the Arts

A decade after its opening, The Hanover Theatre is cruising. It hit 231 performances and 214,000 patrons last year, both all-time highs. The theater signed a lease for a 1920s-themed restaurant to open out front on Southbridge Street, a key part of Siebels' plan to create a Theatre District in Worcester with other artistic venues. Siebels has led the Hanover since the beginning, including the first four years of building a business plan, fundraising and hiring staff before the curtains even opened for the first performance. Siebels chairs the board of Discover Central Massachusetts and serves on the board of the Massachusetts Cultural Council.

What advice would you give up-and-comers? Worcester is a very supportive city where most of us believe a rising tide lifts all boats. It's important to embrace that and to be as selfless as possible, to support other leaders and organizations. As I've done so, they've been supportive of me and of the theatre.

Bookman and Batman: Last year we built and put up a little free library in our front yard. It has become pretty popular and all sorts of people stop by now to take a book or leave a book. Also, I'm Batman.
