The Boston Childrens Theatre performed on stage here for many seasons, on Saturday mornings or afternoons. The lobby entrance was on Clarendon Street a few steps away from Boylston St.

The venue was later called New England Life Hall, per various newspaper ads for films and events here.

This was a very busy venue for many years. Circa-1990 it was renamed “Copley Theatre” (because the original Copley Theatre nearby was gone). But I don’t think that name stuck. It has been closed for a long time now, and may have been remodeled out of existence.
