In 1927, the theater had opened for silent movie viewings and vaudevilles. "By acquiring a down payment towards the purchase of the building to reinvest into it, I am hoping to restore it back to the way it was in 1926 as a single theater (holds 700-1,000 people), and turn it into a multi-use Cultural Art Center." "The whole idea is to get back and running in March," Marco Matteo, the current operator explains. But there has been an issue with the funding currently, causing the Washington Theatre to stay closed. Boston based singer/songwriter Ryan LaPerle has been seen sharing the stage with musicians like The Kin at SXSW to Joshua James and Matthew Perryman Jones.Remember the Washington Theatre while growing up? This is where all of the classic hits were projected onto a screen covering the existing 35 x 23 foot deep stage. In the up coming year, Ryan is looking forward to booking shows throughout the nation and finishing up his third album. Ryan has been selected by the Northeast National Association of Campus Activities to showcase for the past two years. Recently Ryan was scouted by a New York City talent agency to audition for The Voice and received a scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music. Ryan can be found performing on local TV shows and has had his music featured on the New England Cable News Morning Show. Since living in the Boston area, Ryan has played venues such as Berklee’s Performance Center and Cafe 939, The Middle East, Club Passim, The Living Room in NYC and also colleges and Universities around the Northeast area like Bryant University and Daniel Webster College. During the past four years, Ryan has won singer/songwriting contests throughout Boston and became a voice of the month. Ryan released and self produced his first full band EP “Disguise”. This passion has since grown and transcends when he’s on stage. As a child he would find himself singing Michael Jackson and other Mo-town favorites in the car with his mother. LaPerle’s sound has been compared to such artist like John Mayer, Ray Lamontagne, Mat Kearny and Matt Wertz.
This New Hampshire native has toured from his home state to SXSW in Austin,Texas. Folk Rock / Indie / Pop / Singer-Songwriter Ryan LaPerle left his home state of New Hampshire for the Boston music scene and has been flourishing since sharing the stage with National Artists like Matthew Perryman Jones, The Kin and Joshua James.
