Worcester's maiden premiere

Worcester goes Hollywood on March 7 when the world-premiere of "The Maiden Heist" takes place at the downtown Hanover Theater.

"Heist" from director Peter Hewitt, stars Christopher Walken, Morgan Freeman and William H. Macy as art museum security guards. They’re enraptured by certain works of art. And, when a new curator threatens to change the museum collection, they commit grand larceny to hold onto the art — with hilarious results.

If you’ve ever visited the Worcester Art Museum, you’ll recognize it in the movie, since scenes were shot in its Renaissance Court and galleries in December, 2007.

The museum benefits from this one-night only premiere. If you go, expect to rub elbows with Walken, Macy and Hewitt, among others who’ve signed on to attend. No word yet on Freeman. Call the box office at (887) 571-SHOW for tickets.
