Who are we?

Boston Theater Company is a new theatrical production company dedicated to preserving the messages and historical language of classical scripts while approaching them in a contemporary way. BTC consists of a team of young Boston based artists who are passionate about collaboration, classical text and creating art in fresh ways.

What are we doing?  

Our first production of Romeo & Juliet is a political drama told alongside contemporary pop music. This 90-minute version set to contemporary pop music cuts the script down while leaving the remaining words unaltered. Shakespeare wrote the play at the age of only 25 and its themes are still true to today's feuding parties. BTC’s production showcases the versatility of the timeless verse and brings it to today’s audiences in a way that is fresh and fun, while still true to the original message.

Through our partnership with Club Cafe, each $15 ticket includes a FREE drink. 

We need your help!

BTC is a group of young artists in their mid-twenties with emerging from a range of New England area colleges including Northeastern University, Wellesley College, Boston University, Brandeis, Universtiy of Massachusetts, Connecticut College and Dean College. We are passionate about the art we create, but we cannot do it without your help! 

Ticket sales only cover a portion of our costs, so all funds from this campaign will cover production costs, including costumes, set, props, lights, sound equipment and space rental.

And don't forget, you can buy your tickets online right here!
