From drag to podcasts to wrestling, Huntington Hosts activates The Huntington’s two venues (The Huntington Theatre and the Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA) in innovative ways, while also supporting local artists and organizations through its unique, incubator format. Separate from The Huntington’s acclaimed season led by Artistic Director Loretta Greco , and distinct from venue rentals, Hosts events nurture creative experimentation and community-building through diverse, locally-grown programming.

Since Huntington staff launched the initiative in 2024, Huntington Hosts has collaborated with over twenty local artists and community groups across genres and backgrounds. Spanning genres, past events supported local organizations and artists including Anania, Ask Ronna, Big Tom Circus, Bob Saoud, Boston Lindy Hop, Boston Women’s Market, CeCe Knight Jones + Tom Foolery, Chaotic Wrestling, Fork and Shoe Theatre Co-Op, FOUND Vintage Market, Jolene Cuisine, Kori King, Lulu Levity and Silva, Mizery, MOOISH Productions, Taylor Swift Trivia, Trident Booksellers, and 617 Country.

On Thursday, June 4 – Saturday, June 6, The Huntington Hosts Broad Strokes with Cat Cohen at the Calderwood Pavilion (527 Tremont St). Directed by Alex Timbers , Broad Strokes comes to Boston before its Off-Broadway run this summer.

Following acclaimed tours, specials on Netflix and VEEPS, and her 2024 album, Cat returns with her most personal show yet, and one of the best-reviewed, highest-selling shows at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe.

Tickets start at $35 and are available here: huntingtontheatre.org/whats-on/broad-strokes-with-cat-cohen/

On Saturday, June 27 at 7:30pm and Sunday, June 28 at 2pm, The Huntington Hosts comedy band and married couple Couplet’s award-winning Edinburgh Fringe hit Honey Honey Moon Moon at the Huntington Theatre’s Maso Studio (264 Huntington Ave).

Directed by Chris Grace and Eric Michaud , the husband team behind Sardines, this hour-long musical comedy tells the story of the queer Jewish wedding that almost didn’t happen; “there’s nothing they can’t sing and laugh their way through” (The New York Times).

Tickets start at $40 and are available here: huntingtontheatre.org/whats-on/honey-honey-moon/

On Friday, June 26 at 7:30pm, The Huntington Hosts Spotlight: The ELECTRIC CHAPEL, a night of celebration dedicated to Lady Gaga , at the Huntington Theatre’s Maso Studio (264 Huntington Ave).

Hosted by local drag icons Lulu Levity and Silva, the night will feature RuPaul's Drag Race season 15 contestant Luxx Noir London and a roster of fabulous drag performers.

“Spotlight’s purpose is and will always be to keep drag and the beauty of its diversity quite literally in the Spotlight,” says Spotlight co-host Lulu Levity. “We bring talented drag artists of different locations, identities, and expressions to make a truly once in a lifetime showcase of queer celebration. This show sends a message that even during times where it’s hard to believe in a better future, there is always community that you can confide in and drag will always bring that sense of community.”

Tickets start at $27.50 and are available here: huntingtontheatre.org/whats-on/spotlight-the-electric-chapel/

On Friday, May 29 at 7:30pm, The Huntington Hosts City Cinderella: A Bridgerton Ball, a one-of-a-kind royal ball meets fierce drag show with Boston drag icons Chanel Thee Angel, Candace Persuasian, and Destiny, at the Huntington Theatre’s Maso Studio (264 Huntington Ave).

Audience members can enjoy iconic performances, compete for Diamond of the Season, and stick around after the show for dancing and photo ops.

Tickets start at $27.50 and are available here: huntingtontheatre.org/whats-on/city-cinderella/

On Thursday, June 4 at 7pm, The Huntington Hosts Trident Booksellers and Café’s Glee Trivia at the Huntington Theatre’s Maso Studio (264 Huntington Ave). Glee fans are invited to compete in seven rounds of show-stopping Glee trivia.

“Glee Trivia has been one of our most popular themed trivias for years, and we are ecstatic to revamp it for Pride month at The Huntington,” says Trident Booksellers event coordinator Jordan Sahley. “Between Trident's classic trivia and The Huntington's iconic theater scene, this event is a MUST for any self-proclaimed theater kid!”

Tickets start at $16.50 and are available here: huntingtontheatre.org/whats-on/glee-trivia/
