Our Mission:

to go into communities & delight audiences with the pleasure, vitality, and accessibility of Shakespeare's language, while simultaneously taking that audience on an exploration  of the provocative human themes that exist  with his plays. 

​

We are comprised of a group of professional actors highly skilled in performing Shakespeare. What brings us together is a desire to perform Shakespeare's plays in a way akin to the way they have been performed in his day. That is - actors gather for the first time with lines already memorized and have rehearsal  called "Burbage Time" (after Shakespeare's leading player Richard Burbage) in which entrances, exits, brawls, kisses, chases & dances are established. Then they sleep on it and perform for an audience the next day. What happens is nothing short of magical - the audience and actors are working out the story together in real time.
