The Donkey Show

Riveting. . . So visceral that words seem almost beside the point.

The Boston Globe

Tony Award-winner Diane Paulus’ celebrated smash hit The Donkey Show, brings you the ultimate disco experience—a crazy circus of mirror balls and feathered divas, of roller skaters and hustle queens inspired by Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Come party on the dance floor to all the 70s disco hits you know by heart as the show unfolds around you. After the show, the party continues into the night so you can live out your own fantasy of disco fever!

The Donkey Show will conclude its decade-long hit run on September 7, 2019.

The first production Terrie and Bradley Bloom Artistic Director Diane Paulus staged at the A.R.T., The Donkey Show was a catalyst in establishing OBERON as a club-theater venue where artists could experiment with space, storytelling, and the relationships between performers and audiences. The A.R.T. is looking forward to OBERON’s next chapter as it deepens relationships with local artists and companies, as well as performers who come to this unique space from across the country and around the world.
