Cherry Orchard Festival PRESENTS:

BEYOND THE LIGHT

GESHER THEATER (ISRAEL)

Beyond The Light is a tender and heartbreaking fable of two worlds colliding.

She is a living soul, a woman of Earth, and yet, it seems, from another universe. He — an algorithm, slowly learning to wear a human face. She is warm and vibrant, igniting a spark within him. He is cold and precise, beginning to feel. As chaos softens into hope, and a shattered world is stitched back together, their chance encounter rewrites everything.

Two renowned artists, Kseniya Rappoport and Henry David embody the two opposites of the fragile universe, where laughter and sorrow, tenderness and ache are used to — and where light appears where no one thought to seek it. The stage, envisioned by celebrated designer Kseniya Peretrukhina, transforms the ordinary into pure magic: a wardrobe unfurls into a forest, a lamp flickers into a star. This new play by director Avdotya Smirnova is a quiet prayer for renewal — where, from the ashes of a broken world, a new life inevitably blossoms. A performance you won’t want to miss.

1 hour and 40 min, with no intermission

An Evening with Bobbi Brown, Conversation and Book Launch
2025-10-27 19:30
An Evening with Bobbi Brown, Conversation and Book Launch

Join us for a candid and uplifting conversation with Bobbi Brown as her nation-wide book tour stops in Boston at Emerson College. Bobbi is a renowned makeup artist and entrepreneur, bestselling author, sought after speaker, beauty industry icon, and a hotelier. But she wasn’t always these things. In her new memoir, Still Bobbi, she shares the details of her journey from her childhood in suburban Chicago to makeup mogul for the first time. From hustling her way into New York’s beauty and fashion scene in the 1980s, to building her first billion-dollar brand, to navigating her public split from Estée Lauder and, ultimately, to regrouping at 62 and staging an unprecedented comeback, she’s always found success by remaining true to herself.

A general admission ticket includes entrance to this exclusive event and a copy of Still Bobbi. VIP tickets are also available which include a book, the conversation, and a post-event meet and greet and book signing.

Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead
2025-11-07 00:00 - 23:59 | Emerson Cutler Majestic Theatre, 219 Tremont St, Boston, MA, 02116, United States
Presented by Cherry Orchard Festival

Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

Based on the novel by Nobel Prize-winning author Olga Tokarczuk

Directed by Boris Pavlovich

Starring Lia Akhedzhakova, Alexander Feklistov

Also starring: Musya Totibadze, Maria Krol, Gleb Romashevsky

A gripping, poetic, and wildly original theatrical experience.

Based on the novel by Nobel Prize Laureate Olga Tokarczuk, this powerful production takes you deep into a snowy, secluded village in Poland, where mysterious deaths begin to unsettle the quiet forest community. What unfolds is far more than a murder mystery—it’s a haunting, satirical, and deeply moving story about truth, justice, and the fragile bond between humans and nature.

At the heart of the play is Janina Duszejko—an eccentric retired teacher, stargazer, and animal lover—portrayed with brilliance and fierce honesty by the legendary Lia Akhedzhakova. When no one else will act, she steps up to uncover a dark secret hidden in the woods.

Joining her on stage are Aleksandr Feklistov as the warm and loyal Good News, and singer-actress Musya Totibadze, who gives voice to Janina’s inner world through stunning live performances of songs inspired by the mystical poetry of William Blake.

With striking visuals, live music, and unforgettable characters, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead is a bold and poetic production—equal parts noir thriller, philosophical fable, and emotional odyssey.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to an unfortunate delay related to hurricane activity and inclement weather in the Atlantic Ocean, the theatrical set for our production has not arrived in time.

As a result, the November 6th performance of “Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead” is postponed to the NEXT DAY, Friday, November 7th, at 8 pm. All purchased tickets are valid for the new date.

Camille A. Brown & Dancers

“I AM”

Imagine a world where anything is possible: for individuals, for communities. A world of self-actualization, of Black Joy, of cultural liberation. A universe of new ways of being.

Camille A. Brown created “I AM” with inspiration from an unlikely source: an episode of HBO’s acclaimed sci-fi/horror series Lovecraft Country. Mirroring aspects of a character’s multidimensional journey of self-discovery and the power that comes with asserting who you are, Brown weaves a world of African diasporic dance styles into an energetic, spontaneous, immersive, and powerful work that the Berkshire Edge called “universal to human experience….it is good for the soul.”

Black Nativity - 2025
2025-12-05 00:00 - 2025-12-21 23:59
National Center of Afro-American Artists, Inc. Presents:

Black Nativity

By Langston Hughes

Don’t just witness the magic—become part of it.

Black Nativity welcomes ALL people, far and wide, into our circle of light. This is the Nativity story told through the lens of the African American experience, but its message belongs to everyone who has ever needed hope, ever sought home, ever dreamed of a world where love wins. For 55 years, we have been a gathering place where differences dissolve and humanity unites under the universal language of joy, resilience, and peace.

Black Nativity tells the story of the birth of the Christ Child from the point of view of Black Americans in the early twentieth century. Amid the hilly streets of Bethlehem, a hotel with butlers and maids is set and filled with gospel music and gossipy chatter. In it the Holy Family find themselves surrounded by ordinary folk who welcome their message and sing it with joy. Though based on New Testament gospels, we offer the story as a testament to the joy of new births and to the hope that fills persons of “good will” from all traditions. Our message is one of transformation and spiritual uplift.

Inspired by Langston Hughes’ 1963 original production, Boston’s Black Nativity retains the artistic direction of NCAAA Founder Elma Lewis; Director of Drama, Vernon Blackman; Choreographer, George Howard; and legendary Nigerian master percussionist, Michael Babatunde Olatunji. The show’s music is set to the musical arrangements and adaptations of NCAAA Founding Music Director, John Andrew Ross.

Our 55th Anniversary Season features:

75+ Voices Rising as One – Children and adults unite in glorious gospel harmonies that will move your spirit and stir your soul.

The Pulse of African Drums – Experience the dramatic pas de deux birth scene that happens live before your eyes, propelled by the ancient rhythms that connect us all.

A Living Legacy – Witness the continuation of artistic mastery passed down through generations, from Elma Lewis to today’s visionary artists.

Fresh Energy, Timeless Message – Gospel, jazz, and even hints of Hip-Hop breathe new life into this eternal story of hope.

“Black Nativity is Boston’s Black community’s holiday card to the world” – a gift of transformation and spiritual uplift that has touched hundreds of thousands of lives across five and a half decades.

Orwell 2+2=5
2026-04-03 00:00 - 23:59 | Bright Family Screening Room, 559 Washington St, Boston, Massachusetts, 02111, United States
George Orwell was one of the most visionary authors of the 20th Century, whose novels, 1984 and Animal Farm, foretold a chilling, authoritarian future. Acclaimed director Raoul Peck (I Am Not Your Negro) interweaves clips, readings from Orwell’s diary, cinematic references, and modern-day footage to craft not only a portrait of the writer, but a fresh take on how prophetic his work has become.

Family Matters
2026-04-04 00:00 - 23:59 | Bright Family Screening Room, 559 Washington St, Boston, Massachusetts, 02111, United States
Spanning twenty-four years and four distinct time periods, Family Matters follows the seemingly ordinary lives of a Taiwanese family. Each member faces a life-altering challenge: the elder sister seeks her true origins, the younger brother meets his birth father by chance, the mother grapples with artificial insemination, and the father desperately tries to turn his life around.

Told from the perspectives of different family members, the film delves into the complexities of family bonds and how love and resilience shape their lives. Some confront their challenges head-on, while others quietly let go. Yet, through their moments of despair and hope, they cling to each other, refusing to let each other drift apart.

Ultimately, Family Matters because, in the end, it’s what truly matters to us all.
