Winner of six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, this homage to the era of film noir is a high-energy musical satire that examines the promise—and flaws—of Hollywood through the characters Stine, a successful writer adapting his novel for the screen, and Stone, his fictional detective hero. Featuring music by Cy Coleman, lyrics by David Zippel, and book by Larry Gelbart, the performance is directed and choreographed by Danny Pelzig, with music direction and conducting by Kevin Stites.

Boston Conservatory Theater

Boston Conservatory at Berklee musical theater senior Melissa Aliotta directs Dinner for the End of the World by Chris Connors. This dark SNL-like comedy stars a group of friends getting together for what they thought was just a normal dinner. Instead, heartbreak, affairs, divorce, drama, annoying neighbors, hazmat suits, chemical warfare, and frat boys ensue.

Boston Conservatory at Berklee

Boston Conservatory at Berklee presents @Lys, a raucous (and naughty) metatheatrical romp written by faculty member Elizabeth Wong and inspired by the licentious ancient Greek comedy Lysistrata, first written and performed in 411 B.C.E.

Young lovers escape to a wonderland of freedom and desire, drawn together and torn apart by forces they can’t quite control in Commonwealth Shakespeare Company’s 30th Anniversary production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Shakespeare’s classic comedy is transported to a neon-lit festival escape, where rules dissolve and self-expression blossoms.  

The air pulses with music, mystery, and mischief as Puck (The Skivvies’ Nick Cearley) and his fairy band move like shadowy DJs of fate, remixing hearts with a single drop of enchanted nectar. Every corner of the festival grounds hums with temptation, transformation, and the electric thrill of love and community.

Directed by CSC Founding Artistic Director Steven Maler, this Free Shakespeare on the Common production runs July 22 through August 9, 2026, at the Parkman Bandstand on Boston Common, presented in partnership with the City of Boston, Mayor Michelle Wu, Boston Parks and Recreation, and the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture.
