A Christmas Carol
Have a reason to be merry this holiday season, unlike the mean old Ebenezer Scrooge, with New England's largest production of A Christmas Carol. Featuring the Mighty Wurlitzer Organ, the largest organ in New England. Each year this festive production gets an upgrade, adding more magic to your experience.
Clue
Based on the board game and the cult movie classic, Clue is a fiendishly funny murder mystery, where everyone is a suspect, and the next potential victim! Featuring all the colorful characters from the game, from Colonel Mustard to Mrs. White, Clue leads us from room to room in a whirlwind of slapstick comedy and real theatrical verve.
A Christmas Carol
The festive classic to end all classics, no holiday season is complete without taking your seats for a showing of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol. Presented by The Company Theatre in Norwell, prepare to be swept up in the glorious tale of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge and his transformative supernatural Christmas Eve visitations!
The Odyssey
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!
Romeo and Juliet
The American Repertory Theater presents a fabulous production of Shakespeare's tragic love story with Tony-winning director Diana Paulus on directorial duties! Featuring movement by Olivier award-winning choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, escape back to Renaissance Verona, and into the story of two warring families who both pay the ultimate price for their violent feud. A must-see!
