The Rockwell

Half-O-Ween
2023-05-02 19:00 - 22:00 (America/New_York) | The Rockwell
We all know that at a certain time in the fall each year the veil between worlds thins, opening our world to the world of the supernatural. It’s taught in every elementary school. But did you know that this true for a time in the spring as well?
Join us on Tuesday, May 2nd to celebrate Halfoween, the second best holiday of the year! Your Friends in Hell are here to guide you into a distant realm, full of monsters, demons, spooks and spirits. There will be games, prizes, burlesque, laughs, and scares, all from the comfort of your seat at the historically haunted Rockwell! After Empty Olive blows the doors off the place, Thou Merciless Graves will take you on a trip to the bottom of the sea with their unique brand of theatrical and beautiful music.
This is a one night only event you won’t want to miss, so get your tickets before they sell out!

Shit-faced Shakespeare®: Macbeth
2023-05-04 19:00 - 20:00, 2023-05-05 19:00 - 20:00, 2023-05-06 19:00 - 20:00, 2023-05-11 19:00 - 20:00
“Something wicked drunk this way comes…”
That’s the line right?! It is in our version of this Shakespeare classic and it’s back at The Rockwell in the spring of 2023 and you won’t want to miss this — a little crazier, a little zanier, and of course a little drunker.
Taking a break from the comedic side of things, the Boston Bastards plunge into the hearty world of tragedy with their hit show Shit-faced Shakespeare®: Macbeth. Upon hearing the weird sister’s prediction, Macbeth and his tiger wife take matters into their own hands and manage to burn down everything in their wake. Well, almost. Fair is foul and foul is fair in this tale of prophecy gone slightly off the rails
With a genuinely drunken professional actor selected at random every night, no two shows are ever the same. Shit-Faced Shakespeare seeks to introduce a new generation of theatre-goers to the works of the Bard by reviving the raucous, interactive and vibrant nature of Elizabethan theatre with a very modern twist – reminding them as we go to always enjoy Shakespeare responsibly.
Thursdays 18+ Fridays and Saturdays 21+
Running Thursday-Saturday April 27-June 24.
As of Spring 2023 masks are still required for Shit-faced Shakespeare productions.

T: An MBTA Musical
2023-05-05 21:30 - 23:30
“T” is the journey of three struggling Bostonians whose lives have been derailed by the MBTA’s shortcomings. When they discover a secret map that will let them conquer the T once and for all, they set forth on a colorful journey that is part love story, part melodrama, part scavenger hunt – but mostly underground.
Music and Lyrics by Melissa Carubia
Book and Direction by Mike Manship
Music Direction by Luke Molloy
Choreography by Amy Mastrangelo
Original Direction by Jeffrey Mosser

At this time, the audience is required to wear masks while in the theater.
