Boch Center

The Boch Center is the nonprofit that operates two of Boston’s historic Theatre District venues, the Wang Theatre and the Shubert Theatre. Its stages host touring concerts, comedy, Broadway productions, dance and drama, with recent lineups featuring artists such as Little Big Town, The Jayhawks and Jim Gaffigan. Alongside its presenting work, the organization runs education and community programs aimed at making the arts accessible to children, teens, families and the wider community.

Over the past 30 years, the center’s free education and outreach programs have reached nearly 400,000 children, teens, families and educators, along with hundreds of neighborhood organizations. Programs include City Spotlights, an award-winning teen leadership program, and a three-session experience for fourth through sixth graders that combines classroom workshops, a field trip to the Wang Theatre and activities led by teaching artists. The organization was long known as the Wang Center for the Performing Arts.
