The Calderwood provides a home for artistic collaborations; fosters the development of new plays; helps build and diversify audiences; creates more opportunities for youth and community outreach; and expands the existing BCA complex to include more performance venues for Boston's smaller arts organizations.
The Calderwood Pavilion houses the Virginia Wimberly Theatre, the Nancy and Edward Roberts Studio Theatre, the Carol G. Deane Rehearsal Hall, and the Nicholas Martin Rehearsal Hall, as well as other rehearsal rooms and backstage facilities.
