Huntington Theatre Upcoming Event Dates & Tickets
About this Venue
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.
Founding Managing Director Michael Maso led The Huntington from 1982 to 2023, alongside artistic directors Peter Altman (1982–2000), Nicholas Martin (2000–2008), Peter DuBois (2008–2020), and Loretta Greco (2022–present). Over his 41-year tenure, Michael oversaw the 2004 opening of the Calderwood Pavilion and the 2022 transformation of the historic Huntington Theatre, guiding the company through permanently securing the theatre, the COVID shutdown, and major growth. Under his leadership, The Huntington evolved from a Boston University department with a $700,000 budget and a 28 person staff to an independent non-profit with a $20 million budget, more than $90 million in assets, a staff of 108, and a campus spanning four locations.
