Our Mission

Moonbox Productions produces exceptional theatrical experiences that enlighten, empower, and challenge Greater Boston audiences to re-imagine how art creates community. We create inclusive programming that makes all audiences, staff, and community partners feel welcome and celebrated. #CreateCommunity

Core Values

Community

We believe it is our shared responsibility to make positive change in all of the lives that we touch.

Our Outreach Programs

Diversity

We believe in creating spaces that reflect the diversity of our shared community, both on and off the stage, where under-represented voices, including BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, and people living with disabilities feel valued and important.

Accessibility

We believe that accessibility is a human right. We are devoted to providing performances that can be experienced and enjoyed universally, and to incorporating accessibility planning into our production, design, staffing, and budgeting processes from day one.

Moonbox commits to

Implement anti-racist theatre practices
Promote individuals and organizations that work on behalf of our community through our Non-Profit Partnerships

Terry Byrne - The Boston Globe

“The fledgling company consistently defies expectations, mining nuggets from familiar shows, pushing beyond the limits of fringe theater budgets, and raising the bar for the actors they employ.”

Natalie Hardy - Cambridge Chronicle

“Harvard Square’s Moonbox Productions is able to feature talented artists who focus their free time on a company purely out of a love for theater.”

Alex Stevens - The Patriot Ledger

When Cambridge resident Sharman Altshuler launched Moonbox Productions, she wasn’t motivated by market analysis. She was inspired by something much more joyous.

Nancy Grossman – Broadway World

There are a number of Moonbox musicals that stand out in my memory, among them Floyd Collins and Cabaret.

Christopher Ehlers – Dig Boston

Moonbox Productions continues its impressive run of presenting complicated, adult musicals with more polish, professionalism, and nuance than most other companies in the Boston area, even those with more cash and more clout.

Terry Byrne - The Boston Globe

“Since its 2011 debut with the ’70s musical “Godspell,” Moonbox Productions has forged a unique identity on the Boston theater scene with an intriguing mix of musicals and plays — from “Lucky Stiff” to “Cabaret.”
