Why You Should Go...
“The Body of the People” in Boston: Built in 1729 as a Puritan house of worship, the Old South Meeting House was the largest building in colonial Boston. Its size and central location made it the site of the most dramatic and stirring mass meetings leading to the American Revolution, from outraged protests following the Boston Massacre to the night of December 16, 1773, when 5,000 colonists, a third of the population of Boston, gathered here to protest British policies. As a church, Old South Meeting House was the spiritual home to Bostonians from all walks of life, from political leaders like Samuel Adams to artists like Phillis Wheatley.
Today, you can step inside Boston’s historic Old South Meeting House and experience Ruckus!, an immersive 24-minute show that drops you into the heart of the debates and defiance that once filled this iconic space—where ordinary people set extraordinary change in motion. Ruckus! is a powerful way to begin exploring Boston’s pivotal role in shaping our nation. Shows take place daily at 15 minutes past the hour.
