Where Are The Trucks?
Not here. It’s a myth we are constantly trying to dispel. Just to reiterate—we do not present tours. What you see here, you won’t see at other theaters…anywhere. We do not unload sets and props off a truck that has traveled from another city. Instead, we purchase every piece of wood, metal, plastic, bolt of cloth, etc., and transform it—right here in Beverly, MA.
Moreover, packaged tours just won’t fit our unique arena-style theater—so that option is not even on the table. The cost of designing the elements for a musical—whether it’s a familiar classic or a bold new show, is tremendous. We understand that, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. Because just like you, we don't take the easy way out. We go for quality above all else. Value matters to you, and same goes for us. It's in our blood, and that will never change.

We stand in solidarity with our Black employees, fellow theatre creators, performers, musicians, crew, audience members, and all those in the Black community. We stand against racism. We stand against discrimination in all forms. We see you, we hear you. We are listening. We know we’re not perfect. We know we have not always been vocal when we should have. For that, we are truly sorry.
Actions will always speak louder than words. We must now collectively take it upon ourselves as an organization and individual citizens to do the work—to donate, to research, to self-educate, to train staff, to protect employees/guests, to stand against hate, to stand against racism at all touchpoints. We know we have a long way to go to shape the future we wish to see in life, on stage, and behind the scenes. We must never again fall silent. We must work together to speak out, now and forever, until #BlackLivesMatter is more than just a movement, but the tangible reality of true justice for all.
