Creativity and innovation have long been hallmarks of Babson College's focus on entrepreneurship and what better way to enrich the Babson experience than with an array of challenging and engaging arts events?

BabsonARTS presents performances, exhibitions, films, and conversations designed to be entertaining and to shine a spotlight on global issues, social and environmental concerns, the creative process, and the arts as a business. The generosity of Richard W. '68 and Sandra L. Sorenson makes our programming possible.

Commonwealth Shakespeare Company

Commonwealth Shakespeare Company, Babson's professional theater company in residence, is dedicated to bringing vital and contemporary productions of Shakespeare's works to the people of Boston and to exploring those works with Greater Boston's youth in innovative and creative ways. In addition to the annual free productions on Boston Common, CSC presents a series of play-reading events during the year: Theatre in the Rough; Shakespeare and Law; and Shakespeare and Leadership.
