Great cultural and extra curricular activities go on here for most of the year. Being close by and visiting here often helps makes the academic experience more fulfilling. The Riverway takes you downtown and elsewhere. Nice pretty area. A little riverlet and parks nearby. The area has great student life.

Wonderful plays are put on for the entire family. Also an educational experience for children who want to learn about theatre and take classes in the arts/acting, movement and singing. Parking is a bit difficult since its on the Riverway, and part of BU, but very visible from the street/sidewalk.

Wonderful place very cozy. Although I think they could use more restrooms. The lines were very long. Had a great experience otherwise.

This was an amazing theater that allows children to come and learn about theater etiquette all while being fully entertained by really great, experienced actors!

Nice sized theater. We came to see In the Heights- the actors were great and the sets were amazing. Its a great place for affordable shows and performances, and very convenient to buy the tickets online. They often have great deals on tickets as well, depending on the night of the performance. They also hold classes for children here.

Went to see Billy Elliot - sadly shocked. We heard lots of great things about this theater and had high hopes. The musical was not for families, well not for families for kids in middles school/grade school. Practically every other line of dialogue had a swear, songs of spousal abuse, and other adult material would make this a Rated R play if ratings could be given out. Im sure for an adult audience it would be a good artistic dance/musical, but it definitely wasnt a family musical. I wish Wheelock Family Theater would have given proper warning and and/or not advertised this as a family event and saved us the cost of 4 tickets. We ended up leaving at halftime but wish we left much earlier.

I went to see Akeelah and the Bee today. In one word it was amazing. The cast blended adults and children, and they did a fantastic job telling the story. There was laughter, joy, sadness, and passion as Akeelah made her journey from humble beginnings to the National spelling bee. If you enjoy the theatre and a great story you will not be disappointed.

My son and I won season tickets through Macaroni Kids South Shore. Being an active eight-year old boy, I was concerned that he would not like it or be able to sit still for an entire performance. I could not be more wrong! He was mesmerized from the start, and is now a huge fan of live theatre. The productions put on my Wheelock Family Theatre are top-notch, and draw the kids in right away. As I looked around the theatre...children of all ages...from four year olds to teenagers, all seemed spelled bound by the performances. We will be annual ticket holders moving forward! Thanks Wheelock Family!
