If your family is full of little thespians, Massachusetts is center stage. The Boston Children’s Theater features live theater for children, by children. The Amazing Things Art Center in Framingham has plays, shows and concerts aimed at a young audience. Take the family to the Arlington Children’s Theater, and you might catch a glimpse of the next award-winning entertainer making their career debut. If you’re looking for something on a grander scale, Boston’s big venues like the Wang Theater and the Emerson Colonial Theater regularly present family friendly fare. Any miniature Shakespeare lover would find a lot to enjoy in Massachusetts.
