Theatre
Massachusetts enjoys a rich heritage of outstanding theater, and the tradition continues today. From venues that attract major stars to puppet shows for the little ones, there’s always something on stage to delight you.
Visit Cape Cod and take in America’s oldest professional summer theater — the Cape Playhouse in Dennis. For a big-city theater fix, the American Repertory theater (ART) in Cambridge is a nationally acclaimed company, and Boston University’s Huntington theater is a professional theater featuring comedies and classics in two of the city’s best theater spaces.
