Mainstage Shows
Our mainstage shows are our signature productions, fully staged full-length plays and festivals of shorter works. We produce these shows in a variety of spaces, mainly in and around Davis Square, Somerville. They range from intimate two-person plays in church basements, to casts of thirty or more actors on the Somerville Theatre main stage, to outdoor productions in local parks. These productions are an amazing testament to what can be accomplished by volunteers working together to do what we love and share our creative efforts with the wider community.
