Never before has Fort Warren seen such a show! Come out for the afternoon to catch one of the weekly performances on Georges. Don't miss the urban youth performing arts group City Stage Co's rendition of Tall Tale of a Tall Ship or the K-8 children's theater group Kidstock's special island-themed twist on popular fairy tales! Pack a lunch for the occasion and prepare for the best seats in the fort. After the show, brush up on your Massachusetts history by exploring Fort Warren and taking a trip back in time!
