The Herter Park Amphitheater has 350 seats, plus 200 lawn seats. Beginning as a grassroots volunteer effort in 2015, we obtained 501(c)3 status in early 2017. We have three Officers, a Board of six,

Make plans for tonight!

Julius Caesar hits Riverstage at Herter Park tonight — Sat 7/25, 7pm — featuring the Dream Role Players. Free, outdoors, bring a blanket.

This isn’t your stiff high-school-English-class Shakespeare. Director Hannah Baker is staging it as a dark political comedy — think In the Loop or The Death of Stalin — petty, backstabbing Roman senators scheming against each other until things get... bloody. Real conspiracy, real consequences, surprisingly funny until it isn’t.

🎶 RIVERSTAGE 2026 SEASON OPENER — FREE CONCERT 🎶
Join us Saturday, June 20 from 7:00–8:30pm as we kick off our free summer concert season with Satigata, performing live at Riverstage in celebration of their new album, Heart of Refuge.

Satigata blends Buddhist chant, acoustic guitar, hand drums, and singing bowls into a sound that’s part concert, part meditation — contemplative folk music meant to be felt as much as heard. It’s a beautiful way to welcome summer: an evening by the river, open sky overhead, and music built around mindfulness and community.

📍 Riverstage at Herter Park — Boston’s outdoor amphitheater on the Charles
🎟️ FREE and open to everyone
🕖 Saturday, June 20 | 7:00–8:30pm
Bring a blanket, bring your people, and come breathe with us as we open the 2026 season.
