Central Square Theater

Central Square Theater is a performance venue with a 200-seat black box main stage and a 50-seat studio theater located at 450 Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge. The two spaces allow different styles of theatrical productions to take place.

The theater came from a 1990s MIT renovation project focused on Massachusetts Avenue buildings, leading to its opening in 2008. This development was part of the area's broader revitalization and cultural infrastructure expansion.

Two theater companies, Underground Railway Theater and Nora Theatre Company, work independently while sharing this space to produce over 200 performances each year.

The building offers accessible facilities including removable seats, an elevator, and designated parking spots for all visitors. These features make it comfortable for people with different needs to enjoy the venue.

The Women in Science Circle program combines theatrical storytelling with scientific education to highlight female contributions to scientific fields. This initiative shows how the venue brings together art forms with knowledge building.
