September at King's Chapel
Enlightening entertainment or encouragement of vice? Theater had both reputations in the 18th-century English world, and it was illegal in Boston for decades. This exhibit and tour explore what in Boston’s culture, and in the nature of theater, led to a law against it. In the colonial crypt, the tour will visit King’s Chapel members who helped legalize theater, a vibrant part of the arts we enjoy in Boston.
