Hello friends! Rehearsals for Twelfth Night are going so well,I wanted to take a moment to let you know about
The Theatre Project's newest endeavor! We've started a new theatre series that features our repertory company, TP&co. This series is called
Shakespeare Off-Broadway and we're dedicated to exposing all types of theatre goers to The Bard's incredible plays. We have developed a way of performing Shakespeare's work that calls to mind the traditional experiences seen in Shakespeare's days at the Royal Globe, with our own modern influences. We're kicking off this series with
Twelfth Night, which will be performed at The Players Theatre in the West Village from
February 13 - March 7. It's a fantastic production of what is said to be Shakespeare's most beloved comedy!
As we start Shakespeare Off-Broadway, we are excited to be bringing these plays to the Off-Broadway stage, but we are also thrilled to be exposing so many students to this important work as well! Our work will extend beyond the Off-Broadway stage and into classrooms and schools in order to appropriately expose students to the magic of live theatre. It is TP&co's goal to influence students through the educational impact of theatre and Shakespeare's plays. As we kickoff Shakespeare Off-Broadway, we will also be launching a touring component that will bring our productions from the stage to the classroom.
We are counting on the support of Friends, Family and Fans to help in making Shakespeare Off-Broadway a success. We're looking to raise $1000 to help us offset production costs and to help us develop additional educational tools to share with students.
