Central Square Theater

MISSION Central Square Theater (CTS) is not only a theater space, but also a model artistic and managerial partnership in which each resident company maintains its unique identity while working in tandem to fuel long-term sustainability, stimulate creativity, and add value to the community. This new collaborative model of engagement has a mission to provide: state-of the art theater spaces, classrooms, offices and adjunct facilities; resources required for each company's season programs and for collaborative programs with the community; support for audience development through extensive community outreach to residents and partnerships with businesses; and shared executive management, administration, development, marketing, and financial management. DESCRIPTION Central Square Theater, located in Cambridge, is the home of two theater in residences. Underground Railway Theater and The Nora Theater Company- two distinctly different, award winning nonprofit professional theater companies- have joined forces to create Central Square Theater, a new state-of-the-art theatrical arts center, which opened its doors in Central Square in July of 2008. IMPACT Central Square Theater will benefit the local economy and contribute to tourism in Cambridge. During the its first full season of eight main stage productions and 160 performances, CST will attract an estimated audience of 20,000 to attend a show or a class, or participate in an ongoing seminar or talk-back series. CST will work with community organizations and public programs committed to maintaining the neighborhood's diversity and vibrancy.
