Ruckus! drops you into the heart of the debate and defiance that once filled this iconic space — where ordinary people set extraordinary change in motion. From the floorboards to the balconies, you’ll be surrounded by dynamic sound, dramatic lighting, and projected animations of fiery revolutionaries, determined citizens, and a few unlikely troublemakers whose courage shook these walls.

We’re opening the doors of the Old South Meeting House to share Ruckus! with an exclusive audience of supporters like you—inviting you to feel the energy, tension, and urgency of this historic moment as it unfolds around you. Be among the first to witness Boston’s most exciting new historic experience before it opens to the public on July 2nd. Step into the moment when voices rose, actions followed, and a little ruckus changed the course of history.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The program kicks off at 7:30 p.m. and will run for approximately one hour. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the program starts to reserve your seat. Guests will enjoy food and drinks by Chef Dave’s, connect with fellow attendees, and celebrate America's 250th. To preserve the integrity of the experience, late entry will not be permitted once Ruckus! has started. Guests arriving after 8:00 PM will be admitted following the conclusion of the performance. Reserve your tickets today — space is limited!

• Supporter Ticket: $250
• Community Champion Ticket: $50
• Friend Ticket: Free or Pay What You Can*

Please Note: If you are attending The People’s House Party as a sponsor or ticket holder, your access to The Exclusive First Look at Ruckus! is already included.

*Anyone who reserves a Friend Ticket will be placed on a waitlist and will receive attendance confirmation (space permitting) from Revolutionary Spaces closer to the event date.

Ensemble Altera, one of today’s most compelling professional chamber choirs, presents the world premiere of Declarations, a major new choral work by Piers Connor Kennedy.

Spanning 75 minutes without intermission, Declarations is a bold and deeply human meditation on the Declaration of Independence—its creation, ideals, contradictions, and ongoing legacy. Drawing on a rich tapestry of texts, from Thomas Jefferson and Langston Hughes, to contemporary voices including Tracy K. Smith, dg nanouk okpik, and William Ashford, among others, the work refracts 250 years of history through a modern, emotionally powerful lens.
