Imaginary Beasts presents a selection of ten playlets written by Thornton Wilder before his 1938 Pulitzer Prize-winning OUR TOWN. An egalitarian ensemble of ten actors and actresses creates a circus-like environment with mime, acrobatics, and clown collars, augmented by atmospheric lighting and original music. The gestalt results in a delightful evening of theater.

From June 30-July 9, ImprovBoston presents T: An MBTA Musical, a musical comedy inspired by the trials and tribulations of taking Boston's favorite public transportation.

Boston area theaters mount a weighty 'Orson's Shadow,' a delightful 'Souvenir' and a quietly powerful 'Grapes of Wrath'
