The Play That Goes Wrong by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields and directed by Fred Sullivan, Jr.°  is filled with merriment and laugh-out-loud antics that will be a highlight of your holiday season.

Shakespeare warns early in the first act of Midsummer Night's Dream that 'the course of true love never did run smooth.' In that warning lies the comedic core of the show, and the Gamm Theatre delivers a visually stunning, delightfully playful production that fully captures the Bard's vision. It's a thoroughly enjoyable, punchy take on the classic.

The Lyric Stage Company of Boston has created a season of plays that will inspire audiences to share in one-of-a-kind experiences that only live theater can create.  It’s a season to gather together and connect with the friends we come with and the ones we make in the seat next to us.

The Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre (The Gamm) wraps up Season 37 with Shakespeare’s most popular and life-affirming comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. An enchanted forest is the setting for the foibles and follies of humans and fairies, where unsuspecting lovers are transformed beyond their wildest imaginings in The Gamm’s first-ever production of this classic.

CSC will host a one-night-only benefit staged reading of Measure for Measure by William Shakespeare, directed by Founding Artistic Director Steven Maler. This production will feature Christian Coulson (Harry Potter, The Hours, Mozart in the Jungle, Nashville) as Angelo and features a dynamic cast of the area’s extraordinary talent. 

The Book of Will, by Lauren Gunderson and directed by Lyric Stage Artistic Director, Courtney O'Connor is an intimate backstage pass about a group of friends (Shakespeare's nearest and dearest in this case) who make the impossible happen and forever change the way great works of the theater are preserved for generations to come. Get a first look at the cast in action!

IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE: A LIVE RADIO PLAY.....a perfect time for a perfect holiday performance

A LIE AGREED UPON is an excellent rewrite of Henrik Ibsen’s 1882 play, AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE, and the performances are more than equal to the bold material.

The Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre (The Gamm) and The Public’s Radio (89.3FM) have teamed up to co-produce the timeless classic It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, which is above all, a celebration of the human spirit at a time when that spirit is collectively challenged.

CSC  is participating in Downtown Boston Business Improvement District's “Stage Windows” initiative, which features installations in storefront windows created by four top Boston-area performing arts organizations.
