Move over, ICA--you're no longer the new kid in town. The Boston art scene has moved on to something new. Something bad. A pilgrimage to the basement of the Dedham Community Theatre is no longer required for Bostonians looking for a bad art fix, as the Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) has opened a second location downstairs in the Somerville Theatre. Conveniently located steps away from the Red Line at Davis Square, the theatre......

There might have been a couple nosebleed seats in the balcony left at last night's very well attended Michael Showalter and Michael Ian Black's Somerville Theater show, but, for those of you who missed it, you really missed a treat. As evidenced by various available YouTube clips, Black and Showalter are extremely funny on their own, but together they brought humor to an entirely new level. The two have been comedy collaborators for 20......

Roadhouse will screen at the Somerville Theatre at midnight on Friday, July 27, and Saturday, July 29. It will also screen Monday, July 30, at 7:30 pm.

And the Somerville Theater is reading your mind - they're showing the beer-smuggling classic Smokey and the Bandit at midnight tonight and tomorrow night. The plot involves Burt Reynolds, Sally Field, interstate commerce, Coors, runaway brides, and a dog named......

Maybe you can't get tickets to Fenway anytime soon, but a little bit of baseball, international-style, will be coming to the Somerville Theater as part of the Independent Film Festival of Boston.
