Adam Theater is a professional theater for children and youth, devoted to bringing exceptional, high-quality theater to every child in the Greater Boston area. Working in close partnership with local school systems, we seek to make the transformative power of live art accessible to all.
We believe that art and education are inseparable companions, both awaken a child’s capacity to question, to imagine, and to seek meaning. Through our work, we invite young audiences to reflect on ethics, justice, freedom, and the human experience, while cultivating curiosity, empathy, and critical thought.
Our productions are live, bold, and artistically daring, blending a distinctive visual and poetic language that illuminates the essence of theater itself. We are less concerned with what happens in a story, and more intrigued by how it unfolds.
Drawing inspiration from timeless tales and familiar myths, our performances invite children to engage deeply with the theatrical form while journeying through rich, imaginative worlds filled with emotion and insight.
Every Adam Theater production is a work of art, an act of education, and a celebration of community, an open invitation to wonder, to feel, and to begin a conversation about life, culture, and the values that shape the world to come.
