Introduction

Theatre Espresso books programs from October through June, and occasionally performs at fundraisers or special events on evenings or weekends. Our actors are available to teach in after-school programs. We present our programs in a wide variety of venues, including school auditoriums, gymnasiums, libraries, courtrooms, conference rooms, and proscenium theatres! We also offer two free programs for Boston Public Schools (see below). We can perform in most settings as long as there is sufficient room for our equipment, a large enough 'stage' area and, of course, room for the desired audience.

Opportunity for Boston Public Schools

Theatre Espresso offers a wonderul opportunity for Boston Public School students to experience The Nine Who Dared: Crisis in Little Rock, our newest drama about the 1957 school desegregation conflict in Arkansas, in residence at the John Adams Courthouse in Boston--in partnership with the Supreme Judicial Court and the Supreme Judicial Court Historical Society. Fall of 2009 marks the second year that Nine Who Dared  can be seen at the John Adams Courthouse; Nine Who Dared can also be seen at the Moakley Federal Courthouse. This program is grant-funded and free for Boston Public Schools. Contact Derek Nelson, Managing Director, at dstonenelson@aol.com or 617-899-1635 to book this program at either the John Adams or the Moakley Federal courthouse.

Before You Book

To streamline the booking process, please try to gather the following information before contacting us:

  • grade and number of students
  • optimum dates (day, week, month)
  • number of performances desired

We need at least 30 days lead time to schedule a program. Look over the Theatre Espresso performance fees and lengths, audience size limits, and discount possibilities listed below. Because Theatre Espresso charges $5.00 per student over the stated audience limits, we request that sponsors notify us when student numbers will exceed our audience limits so that the contract reflects the extra students.
