It's nice to live in a town/small city with a decent local theatre company. Turtle Lane does about 4 shows a year, some very familiar works (Broadway Musicals) and some less familiar. Generally the quality of the performance is good for a small theater. Occasionally they get people with a really terrific voice. The small stage can pose a challenge for some shows, but they manage. Occasionally they have a show where the seating is cabaret-style, and that's quite comfortable and nice. The place is so small that no matter where you sit, you'll be able to see well. They have discounts for students and seniors, their shows are always available at a discount through ArtsBoston.org, and often they have specials (like a recent 2-for-1 opening weekend special). There is a small bar with some slightly surly bartenders (they offer some food/snacks, but be aware that generally whenever we've tried to order they've "just run out."). There's no place really near to get a meal, so plan to eat elsewhere if you're making an evening of it.
