SUMMARY:Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit
DESCRIPTION:February 27\, 2026 at 8:00pm\nFebruary 28\, 2026 at 8:00pm \nSix-time GRAMMY winner JASON ISBELL will perform new tour dates in 2026 with his band THE 400 UNIT\, in addition to a recently announced solo tour across North America in support of his acoustic album Foxes in the Snow. \nOne of the most highly lauded songwriters of his generation\, Isbell’s Foxes in the Snow was released on his own Southeastern Records in March and captures an artist at the peak of their powers; the virtuosic guitar playing and commanding vocal delivery on this collection is some of the most impressive of an already remarkable recording career. The stripped back\, bare-bones format put his immense talent for evocative storytelling and the complete mastery of his craft on full display. \nIsbell also reissued Something More Than Free via his own Southeastern Records in July to celebrate ten years of the critically-acclaimed\, GRAMMY-winning studio album. The newly remastered edition comes replete with updated mixes and a previously unreleased B-side “Should I Go Missing.” The reissued album is out now on all streaming services and on LP and CD.

SUMMARY:Hadestown
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to HADESTOWN\, where a song can change your fate. Winner of eight 2019 Tony Awards® including Best Musical and the 2020 Grammy® Award for Best Musical Theater Album\, this acclaimed new show from celebrated singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and original director Rachel Chavkin (Natasha\, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) is a love story for today… and always. \nHADESTOWN intertwines two mythic tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice\, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature\, doubt against faith\, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors\, dancers and singers\, HADESTOWN is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.

SUMMARY:The Things Around Us
DESCRIPTION:The Things Around Us is a musically astounding\, hilarious\, and surprising new one-person show from acclaimed musician\, artist\, and storyteller Ahamefule J. Oluo. Trumpet in hand\, Oluo uses live looping to build layers of music until they brilliantly build to dizzying heights. These stunning songs are in direct conversation with a series of uncanny stories about strangers\, acquaintances\, and friends—full of unpredictable\, delightful twists and turns—which Oluo delivers with the perfect timing of a seasoned stand-up comic. \nAs Oluo creates entire songs out of anything within arms’ reach\, an expansive one-person symphony provides reflective moments for audiences to consider the profound nature of life before bouncing back to the laugh out loud stories and universal observations. The Things Around Us is a perfect 90-minutes that will draw you in and remind you of the beauty that surrounds all of the people and places\, both familiar and strange\, that we all hold dear. \nThe Things Around Us is the third in a trilogy of shows from Oluo\, following Now I’m Fine and Susan.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Fran Lebowitz
DESCRIPTION:Fran Lebowitz returns to Boston to share her wickedly sharp take on the world as it is. In a cultural landscape with endless pundits and talking heads\, she stands out as one of the most insightful social commentators. \nHer essays and interviews offer her acerbic views on current events and the media — as well as her pet peeves including tourists\, baggage-claim areas\, after-shave lotion\, adults who roller skate\, children who speak French\, or anyone who is unduly tan. The New York Times Book Review calls Lebowitz an “important humorist in the classic tradition.” Purveyor of urban cool\, Lebowitz is a cultural satirist whom many call the heir to Dorothy Parker.
