It should perhaps not come as a surprise that the DMA has an interest in the theatrical. In addition to the Arts & Letters Live series, the museum’s still-newish director, Maxwell Anderson, pictured, is the grandson of a famed playwright; and the exhibit that just opened — Marc Chagall: Beyond Color — features works from another modernist icon whose training was initially in set and costume designs for the ballet. The exquisite, colorful collection provides an interesting complement to Rothko and DTC’s Red.
Through May 26. $16 special event fee.
