The Curtain Report: Oct. 25th-Oct. 31st

We’re already finishing up the month of October and it’s flying by! Concluding this coming week is Halloween, but be sure to catch at least some of the amazing theatre Boston has to offer before you go into scare-mode. Take advantage of your last chance to see some of these amazing performances that are closing next weekend, or if you aren’t a big Halloween fan and would prefer to treat yourself rather than trick others, go ahead and see a show that’s opening on Halloween night! 

10/30 – 11/22 Chosen Child @ Boston Playwrights’ Theatre

Familial relationships are explored and expanded upon. Don’t miss this heart-jerker before it closes the Sunday before Thanksgiving.http://www.bu.edu/bpt/
