Location & Transportation

Arrow Street Arts - Black Box Theater is located at 2 Arrow St., Cambridge, MA 02138 — at the intersection of Arrow Street and Massachusetts Avenue in Harvard Square.

Transit: Harvard Square is one of the easiest parts of Cambridge to reach by public transportation. The venue is steps from the MBTA Red Line’s Harvard station, and the square is also a major MBTA bus hub. For many visitors, transit is the most practical option because it avoids the congestion and parking scarcity common around Harvard Square.

Driving and Parking: Driving is possible, but Harvard Square is a dense, historic district where street parking is limited and competitive. Metered spaces and several public parking garages serve the area, so allowing extra time is important if you plan to arrive by car.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are widely used in Harvard Square. Traffic congestion and one-way streets around the square can slow pickups immediately after events, so building in a few extra minutes after the performance can make departure smoother.

Nearby Accommodation: The Charles Hotel, Harvard Square Hotel, and other lodging options are within walking distance in and around Harvard Square, making the neighborhood a convenient base for anyone attending an event at the theater.

Venue Navigation

Arrow Street Arts - Black Box Theater is an intimate single-room performance space, so navigation is straightforward once you arrive. Because the seating arrangement can change by production, reviewing your ticket details before arrival helps you understand how that event is arranged.

Entrances and Access: The main entrance is at 2 Arrow Street, at the intersection with Massachusetts Avenue in Harvard Square. The location is easy to orient around because it sits directly in the Harvard Square area near transit, dining, and surrounding streets.

Seating Levels: The venue is a single black box performance space with flexible, reconfigurable seating. Depending on the production, the room can be arranged in a proscenium-style layout, thrust format, in-the-round setup, cabaret arrangement, or another configuration tailored to the event.

Getting to Your Section: As a compact black box theater, seating is reached directly from the single performance room. Specific section placement depends on the configuration used for the event, and venue staff and signage can help direct guests once inside.
