We’ve finally hit the big time. We’re performing at @agecrofthallgardens this summer. Buy your tickets (and sign up for our free workshop on June 6) on Agecroft’s website.
We’re doing the play with the bear in it in Atlanta. If you have ideas for how we should do the bear, email us. We don’t know how we’re gonna do the bear.
Whoops. We accidentally created a whole nother production of R3 in Boston.
If anyone bought flights to London just to see the show there, bring your receipt to the show in Somerville and we’ll reimburse you.

Measure for Measure
By William Shakespeare
"Who will believe thee, Isabel?"
On July 23, Sister companies Elsewhere Shakespeare 🇺🇸 and Teatro Soco 🇵🇹 will present a no director, free entrance, two rehearsals, unconventional space, in English production of this 400 year old text that ,among other themes, is also prescient of the current #metoo movement.
Synopsis:
The Duke of Vienna leaves the puritanical judge Angelo in charge of the city. Angelo has the young man Claudio arrested for premarital sex, a capital crime. Claudio sends his sister, a novice nun, to beg for leniency from Angelo, thinking that his religious sister will be able to convince the religious Angelo to show Christian mercy. Instead, Angelo propositions Isabella, forcing her to make an impossible choice.
