The District Theatre carries on a proud tradition of live theatre on Mass Ave and as an anchor for the arts in the Mass Ave Cultural District. With two stages and a visual arts gallery the theatre’s mission is to preserve the bold, status quo-challenging, and fearlessly diverse history of the original Theatre on the Square. In furtherance of that mission, The District Theatre has adopted a strategic focus of helping resource and incubate new professional resident equity theatre companies, beginning with a Black resident professional equity company.
