About the Huntington
Under the leadership of Artistic Director Peter DuBois and Managing Director Michael Maso, the Huntington Theatre Company is New England's largest theatre company and one of the most respected in the nation. We create seven world-class productions each season for an audience of over 130,000 in our two venues, the historic, Broadway-style, 890-seat Boston University Theatre on Huntington Avenue, and the state-of-the-art Stanford Calderwood Pavilion at the Boston Center for the Arts in the South End.
The Huntington brings to Boston the best actors and designers working today. Whether it is the city's own Karen MacDonald and Will Lyman in last season's All My Sons or Tony Award winners such as Nathan Lane and Phylicia Rashad, great performances are at the center of our productions. And from Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps to Noël Coward's Present Laughter, we are the only theatre in town to regularly have productions move to Broadway.
Each season we provide over 25 Boston-based theatre companies with discounted services through our management of the Calderwood Pavilion, along with services for an additional 100,000 theatregoers. We also collaborate with Boston University to train the next generation of theatre artists, and serve over 20,000 middle and high school students through our acclaimed educational programs each year.
Through this commitment to excellent production of both classic and new plays, advancing the local and national theatre scenes, and enhancing the education of young people, the Huntington serves a critical leadership role for the city of Boston and our region.
