Two productions with rave reviews, two photography exhibitions, Boston's hottest retro couple go to the movies, new classes for all ages in visual and performing arts, and an annual members event to kick off the whole season! All this is on the calendar this week at Mosesian Arts!

Let Us Know You're Coming

Exhibition Reception | September 21

Join us on Thursday, September 21, from 5:30-7:30 PM to celebrate the opening of two photography exhibitions. This event is open to the public and no RSVP is necessary. 

Photography, from its early beginnings, has captured fascinating glimpses of humanity. From formal portraits to snapshots of daily life to photographs of humans at work or just being, In Depth: Life in Photographs is inspired by the depth and complexities of being human.

In our second floor Watertown Savings Bank Gallery, follow the four-decade history of Watertown Children's Theatre in 40 Seasons of Love, part of the 40th anniversary celebration of this outstanding youth program.

A call for art for the following show, Members Exhibition 2023, has a deadline of October 6. Artists may submit artworks in any medium. A call is also open for artists for our first Holiday Makers Market!

The Briar & Rusty Show | September 23 & 24

Tickets move fast when Boston's hottest drag couple, Briar Blush and Rusty Hammer, perform at MCA! This two-night spectacular is filled with hilarious, campy, and sexy tributes to some of the most iconic films of the last century. Combining glamorous drag, steamy burlesque, spellbinding circus, comedy sketches, live music, audience contests, and more, this time-traveling journey into a queer past will have you saying “Play it again, Sam!”

New Rep Theatre | Through October 15

New Rep currently has two spectacular shows in our Black Box Theater. Lorraine Hansberry’s groundbreaking drama, A Raisin in the Sun, is a searing and timeless portrait of a family on Chicago’s South Side, and an American classic.

Diaspora!, a SpeakEasy Stage commission as part of the Boston Project, follows a local writer tracing her lineage to the rise of the civil rights movement and a certain young minister making waves at the Twelfth Baptist Church and Boston University. Check website for individual performance dates.
