PRODUCTION OF LIVE THEATER PERFORMANCES AND EDUCATION

Atlanta Shakespeare company (ASC) is in production 51 weeks out of the year, presenting a different play every month, for a total of 268 mainstage performances and 59 offsite performances. We presented seven plays by Shakespeare: A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet, As You Like It, Hamlet, Love's Labor's Lost, Twelfth Night, and The Comedy of Errors. We also presented A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) by The Reduced Shakespeare Company and The African Company Presents Richard III by Carlyle Brown. We presented two co-productions: Claire Martin's Pride and Prejudice with Belle Esprit and Benedetto Robinson's Dracula, the Failings of Man with Havoc Movement Company. We also presented eight special events including a staged reading of A Room in the Castle by Lauren Gunderson and hosted performances by Belle Esprit Theatre Collective and Destination Theatre. Total attendance was 52,391, of which 21,573 were students. Our audience came from 94 counties in Georgia, 49 states (plus DC) and 13 foreign countries.

Our Educational programming includes our Shakespeare:60 series, and our Shakespeare Junior shows as well as in-class Playshops, school-day Residencies, Summer camps for rising 2nd to rising 8th grade, and in-house homeschool "Shakesploration" Days. Our 60-minute digital productions include R&J:60, Macbeth:60 and Othello. We offer digital study guides for every core curriculum play and provide professional learning workshops for teachers. During 2024-2025, we offered student matinee performances of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Benedetto Robinson's Dracula, the Failings of Man, Hamlet, Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, Romeo and Juliet, Twelfth Night and Claire F. Martin's Pride and Prejudice. We employed five Interns/assistant teachers in our summer camp and teen summer programming. The Apprentice Company, our professional training program, employed eight Apprentices, typically young artists who are within five years of undergraduate training. This program runs from September to April, and the Apprentices take classes in Acting, Shakespearean Text, Stage Combat, Voice for the stage, and other essential professional Theater Skills. They perform professionally on the Main Stage, understudy certain roles, and the program culminates with an evening of Shakespeare scenes, music and stage combat, performed for friends, family, Tavern staff and the public.
