American Shakespeare Center

This young troupe of traveling players has been called the country's most important Shakespeare company. They have revived Elizabethan staging techniques to create the most energetic production of Shakespeare's plays available today. Dispensing with fussy accents and elaborate sets, the American Shakespeare Center depends instead on the vibrancy of Shakespeare's language and the possibilities for audience interaction provided by their "lights on" approach to the plays.

Each year the American Shakespeare Center performs three plays in repertory, and conducts workshops with first-year English classes.
