Program Guide

A Night at the Museum

Saturday, April 1, 2023
8pm Eastern

Metropolitan Waterworks Museum


Welcome to the show!

A Night at the Museum is a one-of-a-kind night of music and exploration. To have the best experience there are some things you should know:

  • Performances will take place in two locations, denoted by colored lights:
    1. the “purple stage” in the center of the museum between the two engines
    2. the “orange stage” at the front of the museum

  • You can see where the next piece will be by checking the program order below!

  • No seat will be perfect for every piece, so move around and explore the space as the night progresses.

  • There are not quite enough seats for everyone to sit for each piece. If you end up standing, don’t worry, the length of each selection is noted below.

  • To grab a drink at the bar you’ll need a drink ticket (a Boston regulation), available for purchase right next to the bar.

  • Please tip your bartender!

  • Also available for purchase are Phoenix whiskey glasses and t-shirts.
