SpeakEasy Stage Company
SpeakEasy Stage Company is a non-profit theatre company dedicated to creating meaningful conversations throughout our community. The Boston Project is our new works initiative, which supports the creation and development of new plays set in Boston. All the pieces developed through this program explore what it means to be a part of this community and tap into the full breadth of experiences and identities that make up life in the Hub. In 2020, we created the Boston Project Podcast, investigating a new way to bring these stories to our audiences.
