kestrellAlexx and I went to the Central Square Theatre
http://www.centralsquaretheater.org/
for the first time to see their production of "The Hound of the Baskervilles," which was very fun. This is another company which is creating smart and original productions on a very small budget. The atmosphere is tha of a casual cafe populated by ecxcentric characters, and that's before the play even begins. This show is also very family-friendly, as it is silly enough to amuse kids under ten, while also providing enough riffing on the characters to amuse the adults (this production does not stick to canon, so purists beware).
As befits a theatre so close to MIT (it's just a few doors away from Mary Chung's), it also does plays with science themes, so check out the site for information about upcoming plays. There's also going to be more family-oriented plays such as a Huckleberry Finn musical and a version of Arabian Nights.
Last but not least, their Web site is extremely accessible, something which I cannot say about most Boston theatre companies's Web sites.
