Wheelock Family Theatre
The Wheelock Family Theatre, founded in 1981, creates inter-generational and multicultural productions that provide an experience for the whole family. Since its founding, the Theatre has staged more than 100 mainstage productions such as Charlotte’s Web, Pippi Longstocking, Peter Pan, and the Sound of Music, among many others.
Educational programs offered in the Theatre and in Boston Public Schools provide hands-on training to thousands of students. Wheelock is dedicated to those who are historically under-served: people of color, people with disabilities, and low-income families. Wheelock Family Theatre became a program of Boston University in 2018, following the merger of Wheelock College and Boston University.
