More free arts events on Boston Common

The resident asks for more free theater, art, music and dance on Boston Common, like the Shakespeare in the park, as an equalizer that also benefits the city.

English title and summary written with AI from the resident's text.

The resident's idea, as submitted

The idea

Every year we get free Shakespeare in the park at Boston Common. It's the best thing ever, and there is such an opportunity to use that space for more free theater, art, music, dance, etc. For a couple years we had Outside The Box, but it's gone.

Who it helps and why

Free artistic experiences are an equalizer. Everyone can come together and enjoy, regardless of circumstances. Benefits income for the city too.
