Boston theater company fall productions

Posted on August 29, 2023 | 3 comments

At the close of each summer, I like to promote local theater comanies and their upcoming fall productions to remind people of the vibrant (and underrated) theater community here in Boston. I hope this post will encourage you to support Boston’s local theater community. One advantage of supporting these theater companies is that ticket prices are more affordable than the national touring companies that come through Boston.

Below I’ve shared 2023/2024 season opening productions of several (not all) Boston theater companies. The shows are listed in order of opening dates and include links for more information.

Central Square Theater || Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes
September 7 – October 8, 2023

The Huntington || Prayer for the French Republic
September 7 – October 8, 2023

The American Repertory Theater (A.R.T.) || The Half-God of Rainfall
September 8 – September 24, 2023

Boston Lyric Opera || Madama Butterfly
September 14 – September 24, 2023

SpeakEasy Stage || POTUS: Or Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying To Keep Him Alive
September 15 – October 15, 2023

Lyric Stage Company || Assassins
September 15 – October 15, 2023

Tickets to these shows make for a great ‘date night’ or night out with friends. Make plans now to catch a show later this fall. You’ll have a great time and your support will mean everything to these very worthy, local theater companies.

Tonight is opening night for The Huntington’s production of Heidi Schreck’s Tony nominated play, What The Constitution Means to Me.

Directed by Oliver Butler and starring Cassie Beck, the funny play introduces the audience to Shreck as a fifteen year old teenager. In the play, she shares the profound relationship between four generations of women and the impact the Constitution had in shaping their lives.

The Huntington Theater’s production runs from February 22 – March 20, 2022 at The Emerson Majestic in Boston’s Theater District. Tickets to in-person performances start at $35. For more information about the play or to purchase tickets visit, The Huntington.

American Repertory Theater: Ocean Filibuster

Synopsis: Inside the Senate chamber of a global governing body, Mr. Majority introduces an “End of Ocean Bill” designed to shrink Earth’s oceans into a more manageable (and marketable) collection of inland seas.
