Boch Center Wang Theatre

The Wang Theatre is one of the Boch Center’s two historic stages and a national historic landmark. It opened in 1925 as the Metropolitan and, with more than 95 years of history, remains a vital part of Boston’s cultural life and the anchor of the city’s historic Theatre District. Its stage hosts dance, Broadway productions, concerts, comedy acts, dramatic plays and more.

The building also houses the Folk Americana Roots Hall of Fame, which celebrates folk, Americana and roots music through displays, memorabilia, artifacts, lectures, exhibits and concerts. The Wang plays a central part in the Boch Center’s education work, with upper elementary students visiting on field trips as part of a three-session arts program, and Boston families attending shows through the Boston Family Days program.
