Greater Boston Stage Company

About

Greater Boston Stage Company is a professional nonprofit regional theatre based in Stoneham that brings plays and musicals to Boston’s Metro North suburbs. Its Mainstage series presents five to seven shows a year in an intimate venue, mixing world and regional premieres with fresh takes on familiar titles. Recent programming has ranged from the audience-participation comedy whodunit Shear Madness to a world-premiere psychological thriller by Artistic Director Weylin Symes.

Education is built into the company’s mission. The Young Company trains students in grades 1 through 12, who rehearse and perform fully produced musicals and plays alongside professional teaching artists, and current and former students get ongoing chances to perform and work with the theatre. A Theatre for Young Audiences series brings family productions, including touring TheaterWorksUSA shows, and the stage also hosts concerts and comedy shows for the wider community.
