What We Do

We produce a season of fully staged plays drawn from the classical canon, including Shakespeare, Molière, and Greek tragedy.

Each production is approached with a clear point of view and a focus on making the story land with a contemporary audience. The goal is not to modernize for the sake of it, but to make the work understandable, compelling, and alive.

In addition to our mainstage productions, we are developing touring programs and educational outreach that bring classical theatre directly into schools and communities. These programs are designed to introduce new audiences to the work in a way that is direct, engaging, and accessible.

Why It Matters

Phoenix is one of the largest cities in the country, yet it has gone decades without a consistent, downtown-based home for classical theatre.

These plays have lasted because they deal with fundamental human experiences. They are not meant to be exclusive or difficult to access.

We are committed to keeping this work open to the community through Pay-What-You-Wish performances, affordable ticketing, and outreach to students and veterans.

This is not just about producing a season of plays.

It is about building something that can last. A company that grows, evolves, and serves the community for years to come.
