The Mainstage is the popular, summer season performance program that has offered outdoor theatre to the people of Greater Boston for the past 35 years. The Young Company focuses on performing arts education and experience for arts-oriented inner city high school students and their suburban counterparts.The Shakespeare Workshop offers performing arts education and experience for local adults and professional actors.
