Mission: Our artistically acclaimed productions of classical plays explore and explode the boundaries of gender representation on stage, providing greater opportunities for multi-racial female theatre artists. We see classical theatre as a window into a world both old and new where people speak to live, a contemporary experience that strips away the transient veil of current issues to reveal the deeper currents that shape our lives. The innovation of our productions goes beyond our all-female casting with its unique combination of quality text work, bold physicality, creative storytelling and artistic playfulness that interweaves music and movement sequences with the classical text. We wed a love of language to a love of life, drawing on inspiration from world cultures and history, celebrating our varied and rich New York City community, embracing the spirit of play and shared intimacy that brings actors and audience together.
