ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage and Screen
About
ArtsEmerson is Emerson College’s professional presenting and producing organization and Boston’s leading presenter of contemporary world theater. It brings productions from around the globe to downtown Boston, choosing works that challenge, inspire, dazzle and provoke. The 2026/27 season includes Taylor Mac and Matt Ray’s Songs from Bark of Millions, Patrick Page’s solo show How Shakespeare Invented the Villain and a dream-themed performance by Grammy-winning band The HawtPlates, alongside film festivals and screenings.
Performances take place at the Emerson Paramount Center, including its Robert J. Orchard Stage, and the Emerson Cutler Majestic Theatre. Beyond the stage, ArtsEmerson runs play-reading book clubs, artist residencies, community curator programs and The Point, a series of public conversations about big questions such as who gets remembered. Its mission centers on celebrating differences, reflecting the city’s diversity and working to overcome Boston’s history of segregation and racial inequality.
