Fall theater line up

I’d like to encourage you to treat yourself to a local  theater production by one of our many local companies.  Boston’s local theater scene is in the middle of a Renaissance – or hadn’t you noticed?

Local theaters like the A.R.T. have raised the bar with a handful of shows that recently had their pre-Broadway run here.  Their current production, Finding Neverland, will do the same but sadly tickets for this show which ends on Sunday, Sept. 28th, are nearly impossible to come by.  Here are a few other options worth considering that I would strongly recommend you check out.

Boston premiere, Far from Heaven, produced by the SpeakEasy Stage Company, runs from September 12 – October 11 at the Calderwood Pavilion in the South End.

The Lyric Stage Co. of Boston presents the musical thriller, Sweeney Todd.  Performances start this weekend on September 5th and run through October 11th at their theater in the Back Bay.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner makes his Huntington debut later this week when the Huntington Theatre opens their 2014-15 season with Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner which runs through October 5th.

The Forgetting Curve is presented by one of Boston’s newest theater companies, Bridge Repertory Theatre of Boston; running from September 4-27 at the Wimberly Theatre in the Calderwood Pavilion in Boston’s South End.

Zeitgeist Stage Company presents, Bent, a story of gay persecution in Nazi Germany that is sure to send chills down your back. It runs from September 19 through October 11 in the BCA Plaza Theatre in the South End.

These are just a sampling of locally produced shows underway or soon to open.  Check them out and support the local arts scene. You’ll be impressed by the caliber of talent, the variety of shows and how much more affordable these tickets are as compared to the national traveling productions playing in the Theater District.
