BOSTON – The award-winning Huntington Theatre won a reprieve from a looming shutdown, as officials on Thursday announced an agreement to let it remain in the Boston University Theatre building, its longtime home near Symphony Hall.
A change in ownership of the property had raised the likelihood that the not-for-profit theater company would be forced out of the space it has occupied for more than three decades. But an agreement with the new owners, QMG Huntington, brokered by Boston Mayor Marty Walsh has erased that possibility.
