Great MIT student ticket deal, thanks! Good acting and nice little concession area. Ill be back.

Another great show from debra and gang

The play pipeline was an amazing play. The actors were really into it not to mention my uncle Hubens Cius

Central Square Theater is always putting on unique and thoughtful productions. Each production has its own style and the actors are always great! I recently saw Cloud 9 and Black Odyssey here and both productions had exceptional acting and great storytelling. I highly recommend seeing a show here!

A theater in the heart of Central Square in Cambridge MA. The area has a cool college and urban vibe.I have only worked at the theater as a professional photographer, capturing images of theatrical performances. The space is relaxed and has multiple theaters.

Home to two creative theater companies performing innovative works

The play A Christmas Carol was a fantastic production.

Always fantastic, well performed plays, yet very affordable. We especially love their science-themed productions

Central Square Theater is a vital resource for the arts in the larger Boston area. Thank you for providing such outstanding performances. ($5.00 validated parking available at University Park at the MIT Garage. Just a one-minute walk from the MBTA red line Central subway station.)

My kiddos and I had a good time there

Great little double sided black box, convenient parking close by, lots of small food choices in the area. We Saw a modern version of Frankenstein. Excellent sets and lighting! Oh and the actors were great too!(Im kinda a lighting geek.)

Excellent experience there saw Black Odyssesy, powerful!

Felt like being initiated into a secret club. So cool.

I saw the production of The Crucible here on September 17, 2019, and was confused. Was the director trying to be funny? The characters, particularly Reverand Hale, dressed in a costume circa 1950, ala Book of Mormon, tried hard to get laughs. The female characters, on the other hand, depicted their characters seriously and wore traditional puritan attire. Character changes were awkward, with Betty the bewitched child abruptly turning into adult Elizabeth Proctor with no costume change and hair tumbling over, distracting the actor. She lacked any of the passion for her husband John Proctor, which is a central part of her character in the play. Abigail was convincing, as was John. They had some good chemistry. Several actors stood posed on stage when not in the scene, which I found distracting. Once they started chanting and screaming, which completely overwhelmed the action in the scene. It was also unclear whether the actors were in character when they came around to the audience to shake our hands at the start of the play. Maybe they could introduce themselves in character? Otherwise it feels like dinner theater where the actors serve you dinner and chat you up before they perform. One said to me thank you for coming, while shaking my hand and looking very serious. I replied thank you for acting. Too many gimics for me. Good acting is enough, when theres enough of it.

Different experience than most theaters. The stage is in the middle and actors are very interactive. They do not use large props and scenes however are very creative using much less. I was very impressed with their talent and loved the show, a Christmas Carol.

Now hosting plays by the great Bedlam group from NYC

The venue itself is very good. In every performance, the seat arrangement is so good, that no matter where you seat, you never feel like you didnt have a good seat.Service is very good, the art outside of the stage is welcoming and inspiring.The performances themselves, it really depends. I have seen from brilliant works to regretting that I went to see another work.

Wicked awesome small theater. A strong competitor to the Lyric Stage in Boston. U can easily do the cheap seats and get a good view. Small. Intimate. Its not the BSO.

Vanity Fair is top notch!

Fantastic shows and the seating changes to fit each performance!

Amazing performances, compelling productions, friendly front of house staff.

Small theater (a bit under 200 seats). Casts are professional, emphasizing local/regional talent, with few marquee names. Plays tend to be somewhat challenging in form or content, but not severely experimental (partnership with MIT means that a fair number of plays in the last couple of seasons have featured science or scientists). Offers student discounts. Very convenient public transit access via MBTA Red Line to Central Square (about 1 block walk).

Great black box style theater in the heart of Cambridge. Ive seen several productions here and have not been disappointed yet.

Its a great small theater. Over the years Ive seen a few of thier productions and they are always entertaining.

Disappointed. Major typos in the playbill. Too much yelling and hard to hear all the lines.

Great selection of plays. Love the women in science plays

Great productions of interesting plays. It a small, intimate theater.

I’ve seen some great shows here and would recommend it to anyone visiting the area. It is affordable and a great place to take Franz or just go on your own.

A Christmas Carol performance was fabulous! Interactive entertainment, beautiful costumes, puppets, a real delight for the senses! Even our 3 and 4 year-old grandchildren were mesmerized! A special family night!

One of my favorite spots for live theater in the Boston/Cambridge area. Never too daring, but not pabulum either. Usually thoughtful, fun, original work with special attention paid to well-designed sets. Prices are quite reasonable.

Saw a wonderful performance of Arcadia at this small theatre in central square. The intimate space was well set and the performers kept the audience laughing. Affordable ticket plans will have us back for more. Would love to see some more variety at concessions.

Community theater with performers of various levels, but all with great enthusiasm, pricey when paying full but great at some discount rates.

Charming, innovative space. Highly recommended.

Photograph 51.... excellent production well played!

This space & these 2 theater companies have been a fine addition to the Central Square-to-Kendall Square area, especially for regularly mounting productions of science-oriented plays, often accompanied by informative wall displays & post-performance discussions w/knowledgeable locals.

They have lots of really neat shows here. Since the theater is quite small, all the seats allow you to see a lot of detail. I went to see Stoppards Arcadia here and was really impressed by the production.

The accents did not work. We missed a lot of the dialogue. Scrooge completely understandable. Some of the others much less so.

Adventurous theatre in the square

Loved all the shows Ive seen here. Really talented performers and producers. A real local institution Cambridge should be proud of.

I LOVED everything except bathroom! Both bathrooms with multiple stalls are unisex? Who wants to be in the bathroom next to your great friend of the opposite sex? Or next to yoir future son in law. Or how about next to your very own husband. Or how about my 16 yer old in the bathroom with some guys,,,not reallyThe show was great, bigh quality. No unisex bathrooms with multiple stalls. Way unreasonable.

Always amazed by how they are able to use this space. A wonderful place to see great theatre in Cambridge!

Nice space, and all the shows Ive seen here have been very impressive. Good acting, good sets, and frequently complex puppets.

A great pair of small but wonderful theater companies in one building. Great place to see a show.

Small theater has a scientific orientation thanks to its proximity to MIT. Always well-acted and creative set designs.

Almost all the plays we have seen here have been terrific.

Barebones theater. Even so you may have a great experience. They arent afraid to take some chances, but this isnt experimental theater.

Good play. Sometimes sound not the best. Creative and fun.

I really loved this theater. When I was was running a summer program with AmeriCorps, we used this theater to showcase our students play Antigone. The staff here are very friendly and nice. Glad, I got to work with them.

A great theater experience!

Consistently interesting, original, and well-performed theater. Box office staff are accessible and helpful.

Saw proof. It was a very good play, and the theater was very welcoming.

Excellent acting, superb choice of plays, staging and direction are of the highest caliber.

Discount for students. Lots of tech-related plays. High quality theatre.

Awesome!
