For more than 40 years, The Huntington has been Boston’s leading professional theatre company. On our stages and throughout the city, we share enduring and untold stories that spark the imagination, amplify diverse voices, and connect communities. Led by Norma Jean Calderwood Artistic Director Loretta Greco and Executive Director Christopher Mannelli, The Huntington welcomes broad and diverse audiences; provides life-changing opportunities for students through education and community programs; leads nationally in supporting playwrights and new work; and serves as a hub for Boston’s cultural community at the beautifully restored Huntington Theatre and the state-of-the-art Calderwood Pavilion/BCA. Since 1982, The Huntington has welcomed more than 3.5 million audience members, produced over 250 plays (including more than 140 premieres, with 18 moving to Broadway or Off Broadway), earned the Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theatre, and served more than half a million students. Nationally recognized as a champion of new American plays, we have supported artists such as Lydia R. Diamond, David Lyndsay-Abaire, Melinda Lopez, Lenelle Moïse, Billy Porter, Kirsten Greenidge, David Cromer, Kenny Leon, Taylor Mac, and the late great August Wilson. We were among the first theatres to complete his 10-play American Century Cycle, and our historic lobby is named for him.
