A few past productions hosted by the company include Cabaret, Paradise Lost, Donnie Darko, Oliver Twist, Romeo & Juliet, Oedipus, and many others.
Head to the Back Bay Fens and hang out next to a beautiful freshwater marsh. Along with the marsh, this link in the Emerald Necklace park system is home to ball fields, a wartime “Victory Garden” that was established in 1941, and the popular Kelleher Rose Garden, among other outdoor attractions. While you're exploring the park, be sure to pay respects at the World War II, Vietnam, and Korean War memorials that reside in the park.
