There is a public parking lot directly behind the theater (take LEFT on side street before theater, parking lot will be to the left.  The Back Bay Garage is located on Clarendon Street, the Motor Mart and Radisson Hotel Garages are located on Stuart Street and the Boston Common Garage is located on Charles Street.
 
Taxicabs
Taxis are usually the easiest way to get around town and are much less expensive than renting a car. From the airport to the Emerson campus, the fare will be about $20 including tip. Around town, taxis run about $5-10 for short trips. Since Emerson does not provide parking facilities, we would not advise renting a car in Boston, as parking tends to be expensive and/or problematic.
