The Odyssey
Mar 1 - 16, 2025
American Repertory Theater
Kate Hamill's new adaptation of Homer's Odyssey is sailing home this spring for a new adventure. Hamill, who has been named Playwright of the Year by the Wall Street Journal, focuses on reimagining classics through the lens of feminism, adapting their emotional journeys for the modern age. Her retelling of The Odyssey is no different, as she flips the story on its head instead choosing to discuss how one processes the trauma of war, how we can end the cycles of violence, and just what did Penelope do while Odysseus was away. Award-winning director Shana Cooper will take the helm on this epic voyage, so pick up your armor and shield for the adventure of a lifetime!
The Triumph of Love
Mar 7 - 30
Huntington Avenue Theatre
Love and laughter abound in The Triumph of Love, a sparkling French comedy by 18th-century playwright Pierre Carlet de Marivaux. In this witty and romantic tale first performed in 1732 and receiving the silver screen movie treatment in 2001, a princess, captivated by love at first sight, must disguise herself to win the heart of her chosen prince. What unfolds is a delightful tangle of simmering passions and mistaken identities!
Boston Ballet - Swan Lake

Margaret Cho
Mar 14, 2025
Wilbur Theater
A bisexual, American Korean, Margaret Cho has some claim on the title of Patron Saint of Outsiders.

Her routines blend scatological humour and social commentary in such a deft, big-hearted delivery that even her filthiest material feels like a warm hug.
