Theatre is taking it outside this summer as theatres look to reopen this Fall. Shakespeare on the Common returns to downtown with one of Boston’s most fun and free events. This year’s production of The Tempest looks like a home run so reserve your spot now as space is limited. Gloucester Stage is bringing back their NeverDark series with a bunch of shows that play for one or two nights only. These tickets aren’t cheap ($34) but neither is the talent, including Obie winning director Orlando Pabotoy, playwright/performer Dee Dee Batteast and the incredible dancer/choreographer by Valeria Solomonoff.
Check out details on these shows and more below in our listing…
