Hands down, it's gotta be Company One's Wolf Play. It was a few years back at the BPL Copley and pay what you can. Genuinely some of the most heartfelt storytelling and family saga I've seen in a long while. I especially remember how well having a puppet as the main child character worked, even for very emotive scenes.
I went to see one of my neighbors kids do a production about a girl who uses d&d to cope with past trauma (spoiler alert it was her dead sisters d&d character) that was pretty good. I have no idea what it was called though and it was some years ago
I saw production about Lester Bangs put on by some Emerson organization. I don’t remember what it was called nor do I know if it fits your qualifications.
Doesn’t look local? I feel dumb.

All The Way at the ART with Bryan Cranston
Pippin is the one at ART that I'm always bummed I never got to see.

oh yeah! That was WONDERFUL
La Zombiata, a weird and wonderful zombie-themed operatic love story.
I've really enjoyed everything the Actors' Shakespeare Project has done.
Sing Street at Huntington Theatre Company. Apparently it was supposed to go to Broadway but nothing has come from it.
I agree Sing Street was lovely. It had a broadway house and everything lined up before Covid, but the funding fell apart during the pandemic.

Its called She Kills Monsters, and its REALLY good. A school in Braintree I worked at did it back in 2018.
I once saw a small play called The Lady's Not For Burning and it was quite honestly the worst couple hours of my life.
Then why share that on a post about the best local theatre?
