Wheelock Family Theatre

Wheelock Family Theatre at Boston University stages professional productions for children and adults at its Riverway theater in the Fenway. The program includes musicals and adaptations of children’s books, giving families a chance to see familiar stories performed live. Open captions are available at every performance, with ASL interpretation and audio description on selected dates. For a first visit, the theater provides social stories that explain the building and what to expect during a show. Check the production details when choosing for younger children, and allow time to get settled before curtain. Classes include Saturday sessions, school-vacation programs and opportunities for teenagers interested in performance and design.
