The Donkey Show
Boston's celebrated smash hit is extended again! See it every weekend!

Directed by Diane Paulus, this disco sensation lets audience members party on the dance floor as the show unfolds around them.

Check out this segment on The Donkey Show from WGBH:

 

The celebrated smash hit The Donkey Show now takes Boston by storm, bringing you the ultimate disco experience—a crazy circus of mirror balls and feathered divas, of roller skaters and hustle queens. Come party on the dance floor to all the 70s disco hits you know by heart as the show unfolds around you.

A.R.T.’s OBERON houses this magical romp inspired by A Midsummer Night's Dream. Join the party under the disco ball. After the show, the party continues into the night so you can live out your own fantasy of disco fever!

“Riveting. . . . So visceral that words seem almost beside the point. . . . Paulus is off to a strong start at A.R.T.”
— The Boston Globe
“A fantastical disco party. . . . Even the stodgiest of theater patrons will be shaking their groove thangs.”
— Boston Metro
“This energetic marriage of disco, Dream, and Tijuana tourist entertainment may be the most alive, immersive piece of theater I've ever been dunked in. . . . Whatever Puck is pushing, the love juice in Shakespeare's little western flower is less cocaine than pure adrenaline.”
— Boston Phoenix
“With The Donkey Show, Diane Paulus has changed the face of A.R.T. in one fell swoop. . . . It's a great night out.”
— Boston Herald
