Greater Boston

Die Region Boston-Cambridge-Quincy bezeichnet das Gebiet im Commonwealth of Massachusetts um die Stadt Boston im Bundesstaat Massachusetts in den Vereinigten Staaten. Der Begriff ist jedoch mehrdeutig und kann sich daher flächenmäßig auf ein beliebiges Areal zwischen den Größenordnungen der Metropolitan Statistical Area und der Combined Statistical Area von Boston beziehen, die auch die Metropolregionen von Providence in Rhode Island und Worcester in Massachusetts umfasst.Im Gegensatz dazu ist der Begriff Metro Boston für den „inneren Kern“ um Boston herum reserviert, während Greater Boston üblicherweise mindestens die Regionen North Shore, South Shore und MetroWest sowie das Merrimack Valley umfasst.In der Region Greater Boston lebten 2008 mehr als 4,6 Millionen Menschen, was sie auf Platz 10 der Liste der bevölkerungsreichsten MSA in den USA bringt. Auf die CSA bezogen lebten dort im selben Jahr mehr als 7,6 Millionen Menschen, was Rang 5 in der Liste der CSA bedeutet. Die Region beinhaltet viele Orte und Hinweise auf Persönlichkeiten der Geschichte der Vereinigten Staaten, insbesondere der Amerikanischen Revolution, der Bürgerrechte, der amerikanischen Literatur sowie der US-amerikanischen Politik. Greater Boston ist ein wesentliches Zentrum des US-amerikanischen Bildungswesens, der Finanzindustrie sowie des Tourismus und liegt in der Rangliste der Produktivität weltweit auf Platz 12.

The Colonial Theatre is the oldest continually-operating theatre in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. Designed by the architectural firm of Clarence Blackall and paid for by Frederick Lothrop Ames the theatre first opened its doors for a performance of Ben-Hur on December 20, 1900. Ben-Hur operated with a cast and crew of 350 people and featured eight live horses on stage in full gallop during the chariot race scene. The play was so mechanically and technically extraordinary, it was featured on the cover of Scientific American. It is located at 106 Boylston Street on Boston Common at the former site of the Boston Public Library.In the 1990s, Colonial president Jon Platt led a renovation of the Colonial. In 1998, Platt sold his Boston theater interests to SFX Entertainment . In 2003, Emerson College began leasing the building. In 2006, Emerson bought the Colonial building to use the upper floors for dormitories. In 2008, Key Brand Entertainment purchased most of Live Nation's theatrical assets, including the lease on the Colonial Theatre. When the lease ended, the Citi Performing Arts Center took over the lease, but continued booking in partnership with Key. When the Citi lease ended in 2015, Emerson College closed the Colonial for renovations.
