What to expect

Planning a visit to BCYF Curtis Hall

Choose Curtis Hall when the performance listing names the Jamaica Plain community center at 20 South Street, not another venue with the same surname. For a Street Stage program, confirm the exact indoor or outdoor audience area, seating guidance, weather and rain plan, accessibility arrangements, start time, registration terms, and current community-center entry instructions before setting out.
