In America, the end of the nineteenth century was the golden age of urban park creation. Following the success of architect Frederick Law Olmsted's Central Park in New York City and the Emerald Necklace in Boston, there was a worldwide drive for additional recreational activities for city people, spurred by the assumption that access to fresh air might alleviate a litany of societal ills. The Metropolitan Park Commission (MPC, now the Department of Conservation and Recreation, or DCR) was founded in Massachusetts in 1893 with the purpose of constructing the country's first interconnected regional park system. Garage B will be offering discounted pricing for events throughout the summer. Contact Jenna Chilington, our Event Sales Coordinator, at jchillington@charlesriverspeedway.com or events@charlesriverspeedway.com, or fill out and submit the form found on our website to learn more about hosting your event at Garage B.

Citizens Bank Opera House
539 Washington St, Boston, MA 02111, USA- Spaces for 200-2,600 Guests
A Remarkable Achievement in the World of Theater Restored to its Stunning Original Flourishing State. In 1927, when vaudeville circuit palaces were at the height of their evolution, the Citizens Bank Opera House was one of the best examples of this type of venue that could be found everywhere. Theatrical productions from all across the world can be seen here, many of which have won prestigious awards. Since it was brought back to its former glory, the Opera House has been the source of unforgettable moments for each and every one of our visitors. The entire theater, the stage, or any one of our many beautiful event spaces are available for booking for parties ranging in size from 20 to 2,600 people. When it initially opened its doors in 1928, the Boston Opera House was known as the B.F. Keith Memorial Theater. Thomas White Lamb, who was considered to be one of the most accomplished theater architects of his era, was responsible for the luxurious movie theater's architecture, which was a fusion of the French and Italian styles. Late in 2004, following a number of transitions in ownership, the Boston Opera House underwent an extensive period of restoration and renovation in order to meet the requirements of large Broadway touring plays. The theater has a capacity of 2600 people, and in addition to hosting regular performances by the Boston Ballet and Broadway productions, it is also open for pre-show use and private functions. Please get in touch with us if you are interested in holding your event at the Boston Opera House or any of the other venues that are affiliated with our company.
