Theatre Espresso's season runs from October through June. While we perform primarily in schools and in courthouses as part of our residency program, we also present programs in libraries, museums, and even occasionally in traditional proscenium theatres! Over 4,800 students viewed our dramas during the 2009-10 school year, whether at the John Adams Courthouse, Moakly Federal Courthouse or on site at schools in the greater Boston area and other New England states. Our newest drama--American Tapestry: Immigrant Children of the Bread & Roses Strike--will begin its 1st year in residence at the Lawrence Heritage State Park Visitors Center in October 2010 and, like our other dramas, will tour to schools around Massachusetts. American Tapestry and Nine Who Dared will both be in residence at the John Adams Courthouse in Boston. To learn more about booking any of our dramas, please go to Book a Show.
