The Mobius Artists Group has gained international recognition as a leading interdisciplinary group in the United States. Founded by Marilyn Arsem in 1977, the group has been known for incorporating a wide range of the visual, performing, and media arts into innovative live performance, video, and installation works. Mobius Artists Group has produced over 100 original works which have attained critical acclaim while at Mobius and garnered further recognition when presented nationally and internationally.

In 1974, the Charlestown Working Theater was founded on the idea that a theater and a community can engage in a dialogue, which results in creative, artistic expression, an exciting exchange of ideas, and a deeper understanding of the people who make up the community. CWT has maintained this philosophy throughout its history and has remained dedicated to serving the cultural needs of Charlestown and greater Boston. Thirty years after first opening its doors, CWT has become an integral element of the community's rich cultural identity.
In remaining dedicated to offering a variety of theatrical and cultural events, forming creative partnerships, and maintaining an open exchange with its community, CWT has developed a unique synthesis of artistic exploration.
