For more than 60 years, the South Shore Music Circus and it’s sister venue, the Cape Cod Melody Tent, have been presenting world-class entertainment in the scenic Massachusetts coastal communities of Cohasset and Hyannis. The only two continuously-operated tent theatres in the round in the United States, the Music Circus and Melody Tent are owned and operated by the South Shore Playhouse Associates, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to encouraging and supporting the arts, cultural and educational organizations throughout the communities of the South Shore and Cape Cod. We provide a relaxed ambiance and intimate theatre experience where every seat is within 50 feet of the stage. Our business offices are open M-F, 9-6pm. Our box office is open for in-person sales Mon-Sat, 12-6pm, as well as up to intermission on show nights.

Dear Friends,

Thank you to all who joined us for an unforgettable season of live music and comedy at the South Shore Music Circus and Cape Cod Melody Tent.

This year was remarkably special for our communities. Together, we brought in many new artists and hosted more shows than ever before.

We also celebrated the 75th Anniversary of the Music Circus. To mark this incredible journey, we transformed both venues with stunning new murals created through a unique collaboration between local high school students and professional artists.

Your presence at our shows does so much more than keep the music playing. As a patron, your support, and the legacy of the generations of patrons before you, has allowed us to thrive for almost a century. Most importantly, your ticket purchase is a powerful way of giving back. Every seat filled directly helps fund our ongoing charitable grants that provide vital support to arts programs that make our local communities more vibrant.

Thank you for being part of our history, our present, and our future. We cannot wait to welcome you back under the tents for many more seasons to come.

With sincere gratitude,
The Music Circus and Melody Tent Team

"It's a community thing. I speak for myself, my team, and those who came before me. We couldn't have done it without the support of the Town of Cohasset and our greater South Shore community." -Vince Longo, CEO & Executive Producer, South Shore Music Circus & Cape Cod Melody Tent.

We were incredibly honored and grateful to receive an Official Citation from the Town of Cohasset in recognition of our 75th Anniversary Season. It is a commendation for presenting world-class entertainment and cultural enrichment for the South Shore community over three quarters of a century. It also recognizes the South Shore Playhouse Associates, the 501c(3) organization that owns and operates the Music Circus and Cape Cod Melody Tent , for their commitment to philanthropy having invested generously into regional arts education and community programs for the same period.
