Top Chef finalist Tiffani Faison brings wood-smoked Texas 'cue to the heart of the Fenway with Sweet Cheeks, offering tender brisket, ribs and pork belly – you name it – accompanied by housemade barbecue sauce, warm biscuits and classic sides (including a cheesy-broccoli dish her mom still makes); add the communal high-top tables made from church doors and bowling alley lanes, an outdoor beer garden (porch swing, check!) and an all-American drinks program – from single-batch bourbon to U.S. brews – and them cheeks are sweet indeed.

Straight from its sold-out run in New York City, Company One is proud to present Travis Chamberlain’s highly acclaimed site-specific production of Tennessee Williams’ Green Eyes at The Ames Hotel. Written in 1970 but unpublished for almost 40 years, this “lost” erotic thriller graphically reveals the impact of war through the sexual fantasies of a newlywed couple honeymooning in New Orleans. He’s a soldier, traumatized by his participation in the war; She's a ravenous woman determined to satisfy the darkest recesses of her most deviant desires. Green Eyes transforms a honeymoon suite into a psychosexual battleground where desire and violence blur and become indistinguishable. With only 25 seats available per show, this is an exclusive theatrical event you do not want to miss!
