Our Story
Founded in 1979, the Charlestown Working Theater has transformed an abandoned fire station at 442 Bunker Hill Street into a vibrant hub for creativity and self-expression. Under the artistic direction of Jennifer Johnson, Kristin Johnson, and John Peitso since the early 1990s, CWT has cultivated original productions and provided a platform for local artists. This community-focused theater engages the youth of Charlestown, offering them a space to explore their artistic talents largely free of charge.
