The Platform brings art to life and people together. Located at 315 Kendall Street in Cambridge, this dynamic new performing arts center will serve as a vibrant cultural hub for creativity, connection, and community. Featuring the 404-seat Takeda Theater, the 125-seat Tempo Stage, a professional rehearsal studio, and vibrant gathering spaces designed to foster connection, The Platform is poised to become a vital component of Greater Boston’s performing arts ecosystem as well as a center for community-building. Global Arts Live will present 1/3 of The Platform’s programming with the rest of the programming presented by local and national artists, presenters, and nonprofits.
