The Schwartz Center for the Arts

The Schwartz Center for the Arts was originally constructed in 1904 and known as The Dover Opera House. Many renovations years later have resulted in a beautiful facility known for its aesthetic and cultural appeal. A recent strategic alliance was formed to partner the resources of Wesley College, Delaware State University, The Grand Opera House and the Friends of the Capital Theater to maximize the center’s usage and position it as a historic treasure and premiere performing arts venue.

Dover Symphony Orchestra

This non-profit musical organization was established in 1967 and performs four times each year at the October Classical Concert, a November Children’s Concert, a March Classical Concert and a Pop Concert held in May. The orchestra’s mission is to share its wealth of musical talent with the residents and visitors to Dover and it surrounding cities.

Patchwork Playhouse

The intimate venue at the Patchwork Playhouse provides the ultimate theater experience for each of the guild’s five shows performed each season which runs September through May.
