Dear Friend,
I am pleased to present the 2006–2007 Annual Report of the
Shakespeare Theatre Company. As I look back on this 20th
Anniversary season, I am struck by the breadth of the achievements
made throughout this Company. We truly have so many reasons
to be proud. Our 2006–2007 season, a season of discovery and
rediscovery, brought five fascinating plays to Washington, D.C. We
began with Henrik Ibsen’s groundbreaking An Enemy of the People
and followed with my production of a new adaptation of George
Farquhar’s The Beaux’ Stratagem. My production of Richard III kicked
off the citywide celebration Shakespeare in Washington, a feast of
music, theatre, film, art and dance that illustrated Shakespeare’s
sweeping influence. The six-month festival included our first-ever
production of Titus Andronicus, directed by Gale Edwards, and my
production of Hamlet, which featured Jeffrey Carlson in the title role.
We continue to see widespread positive responses for our innovative
and creative work done in the community and in our schools. One
remarkable illustration comes from a Text Alive! class. Even after
their Shakespeare class was dropped from the school’s curriculum,
the students continued to fully commit to our program as an afterschool elective. Of the teachers who completed our evaluation of
the community program SHAKESPEARIENCE, 100 percent said they
would recommend the program to another teacher. I am particularly
proud of the after-school theatre program ShakesPEERS, which
was recognized by First Lady Laura Bush with the Coming Up Taller
Award from the President’s Committee on Arts and the Humanities.
With new programs like “Bard Lunches” and new Master Acting
Classes, the Education Department has strengthened these thriving
outreach efforts, and we anticipate seeing the profound effects for
many seasons to come.
The Shakespeare Theatre Company owes the success of the past 20
years to countless classical theatre enthusiasts throughout Washington,
D.C., and across the country. To recognize the artists who have brought
this organization to the pinnacle of artistic excellence, we presented an
unprecedented 15 recipients with the Will Award, honoring the acting
company who has brought vibrant life to the works on our stage. As the
season progressed, I witnessed our newest stage, Sidney Harman Hall,
taking shape before my eyes. I am filled with gratitude to the thousands of
supporters of the Harman Center for the Arts and all those who made the
future of this company possible.
The support of our exceptional Board of Trustees, brilliant artists, diligent
staff and volunteers, and our tremendous family of patrons, ticket-buyers
and donors made possible the many accomplishments of the 2006–2007
season.
Thank you for your support and confidence in our work.
Warmly,
Michael Kahn
Artistic Director

THE SEASON
The Shakespeare Theatre Company’s 2006–2007 season began with a production
of Henrik Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People. The ground-breaking Norwegian
playwright’s 1882 drama spoke directly to contemporary Washington, D.C.,
touching on environmental ethics and the personal cost of politics. Joseph Urla
gave a thrilling performance as the unwavering Dr. Stockmann, who blows the
whistle on his brother, the mayor. Philip Goodwin brought a quiet menace to the
role of the mayor, for which he won a Helen Hayes Award for Best Supporting
Actor. Director Kjetil Bang-Hansen, formerly of the Norwegian National Theatre,
made his Company debut. Trey Graham of Washington City Paper praised the
production as “a fierce attack on party politics and self-interested timidity,” and
Tim Plant of Metro Weekly found it “uncannily relevant.”
12
The Beaux’ Stratagem marked a unique theatrical collaboration: in 1939, the
great American playwright Thornton Wilder began an adaptation of George
Farquhar’s 1707 comedy; at the behest of the Wilder estate, playwright Ken
Ludwig completed the adaptation 65 years later. When this partnership over
three centuries reached the stage of the Shakespeare Theatre Company, Artistic
Director Michael Kahn directed with style and energy, and Broadway veterans
Christopher Innvar and Veanne Cox gave sparkling performances in their first
appearances with the Company. For his magical, ever-changing set, James
Kronzer won the Helen Hayes Award. The production charmed audiences and
critics alike, with Trey Graham of the Washington City Paper calling it “perfectly
enchanting.”
The new year brought with it the beginning of the Shakespeare in Washington
celebration, a six-month festival in which more than 60 regional, national and
international arts organizations presented a wide range of offerings connected
to the works of William Shakespeare (see page 18) . Shakespeare in Washington
opened with a free, standing-room-only, all-star reading of Shakespeare’s Twelfth
Night at the Kennedy Center, directed by Michael Kahn. Kahn also served as
curator of the festival, and his epic production of Shakespeare’s Richard III helped
to kick it off. Geraint Wyn Davies, an award-winning Cyrano in the company’s
2004 season, returned to play the murderously ambitious king. Audiences
packed the theatre to watch Wyn Davies’ serpentine Richard seduce his way to
the throne, supported by an accomplished cast and Lee Savage’s monumental
set design. Peter Marks of The Washington Post called the production “lucid,
beautifully articulated and intriguingly staged,” and USA Today’s Elysa Gardner
found it “robustly imaginative.” The Washington Times’ Jayne Blanchard wrote
that Wyn Davies’ portrayal “glitters with a malevolent charm.”
The Shakespeare Theatre Company continued its tradition of presenting lesserknown classics with its staging of Shakespeare’s early revenge tragedy Titus
Andronicus. Internationally acclaimed director Gale Edwards returned for the first
time since her vibrant 2003 production of Richard III, and her staging of Titus
became an impassioned plea to end the cycle of violence and revenge. Featuring
powerful performances and striking design, the show stunned audiences and
critics. Metro Weekly’s Kate Wingfield wrote that “Edwards succeeds in balancing
this parade of destruction with the emotional journeys Shakespeare offers,” while
Bob Mondello of Washington City Paper hailed the production’s “visceral impact.”
In May, the Shakespeare Theatre Company presented its annual Free For All
production at Carter Barron Amphitheatre in Rock Creek Park. The Company
revived Michael Kahn’s 2006 staging of Shakespeare’s Love’s Labor’s Lost.
Kahn set the play in 1960s India, and the production’s high-energy rock concert
atmosphere left audiences cheering. Stephen Fried, who had assisted Kahn on
the original production, remounted the play with a stellar (and largely new) cast.
Nearly twenty-four thousand people saw this little-known comedy for free in the
park. The season and the Shakespeare in Washington celebration ended in
triumph, with Michael Kahn’s production of Shakespeare’s masterpiece Hamlet.
This ultra-modern staging featured sleek design and a surprisingly young cast.
The play reunited Kahn with his former Juilliard student Jeffrey Carlson, now
an accomplished stage and screen actor. Carlson, first seen at the Shakespeare
Theatre Company in 2005’s Lorenzaccio, played Hamlet as a troubled teenager
faced with an impossible mission. The critics showered the production with
praise: “The Company’s done its characteristic deep meditation on the text,”
wrote Washington City Paper’s Glen Weldon, “and come away with fresh
moments that enliven Shakespeare’s oft-heard words.” “Carlson gives a tourde-force performance,” raved The Baltimore Sun’s Mary Carole McCauley. “The
cast, under the sure-handed direction of Michael Kahn, is close to flawless.”

EDUCATION PROGRAMS
“It’s a heck of a time and honestly if I wasn’t having fun doing it—I would not have been here for as long
as I have. It showed me what I want to pursue in life—it’s helped me cultivate my appreciation for the
stage and theatre. I just love doing it!” Hans Femrite, ShakesPEERS participant since 2004
14
The 2006–2007 season began with the exciting news that the ShakesPEERS
program was awarded the Coming Up Taller Award by the President’s Committee
on Arts and the Humanities. First Lady Laura Bush presented the award to
Education Director Dawn McAndrews and ShakesPEERS member Bahlya Yansane.
The community-based, after-school theatre program invites students ages 14–19
throughout the District of Columbia to explore their world through performance
and mentorship. ShakesPEERS and the Summer ShakesPEERS rehearsed and
performed three plays throughout the year: The Taming of the Shrew in the fall,
Macbeth in the spring and A Midsummer Night’s Dream in the summer. A total
of 66 teenagers participated and performed for more than 600 community
members. As well as working on analyzing and performing Shakespeare, students
earned community service hours by bringing Shakespeare to their peers in the
community.
Re:ACT aims to enable students to better analyze and appreciate Shakespeare’s
work. Re:ACT’s workshops investigate Shakespeare’s text, the relevancy of the
themes of the plays to today’s society, and how to explore staging Shakespeare’s
work by identifying clues and internal stage directions within the text.
After-school partnerships draw direct connections between Shakespeare’s
sonnets and other poets, such as Emily Dickinson, Paul Lawrence Dunbar and
Maya Angelou, as well as to the political speeches and music of today. The
partnerships can also be created to focus on scenes from a Shakespeare play
exploring all aspects of theatre, including design elements, directing and acting.
Our other large community program, the SHAKESPEARIENCE: Student Matinee
program, welcomed 1,989 students from 71 classrooms in the Washington, D.C.,
area to its student matinees. The matinee performances included An Enemy
of the People by Henrik Ibsen, The Beaux’ Stratagem by George Farquhar and
adapted by Thornton Wilder and Ken Ludwig, and Richard III and Titus Andronicus
by William Shakespeare. Participating schools were provided with free or subsidized
tickets, free pre- and post-show workshops with Shakespeare Theatre Company
teaching artists, and the First Folio: Teacher’s Curriculum Guide written by the
Company’s Education Department. Participating students and teachers completed
evaluations on the experience. One hundred percent of the teachers who completed
the evaluation said they would recommend SHAKESPEARIENCE to another teacher.
The Shakespeare Theatre Company’s in-school, curriculum-enrichment program,
Text Alive! invited teachers and students in grades 9–12 from the District of
Columbia and surrounding communities in Maryland and Virginia to explore
Shakespeare’s work through a series of in-school, humanities-based workshops
and an in-depth rehearsal and performance process. For the 2006–2007 season,
students worked on Richard III in the fall and Titus Andronicus in the spring.
Participation by 29 classrooms involved 592 students and 33 teachers. One
classroom at Parkdale High School participated as an after-school elective when
their Shakespeare Class was dropped from the school’s curriculum. Such was
their commitment to the program that they put in all the work required on top of
their regular school-work, even without the grade incentive. Assessments taken
in all participating classes at the beginning and end of each semester gauged
improvement in understanding and performing Shakespeare. In the spring semester,
every single classroom demonstrated improvement in these areas as well as
increased energy and focus in the workshops.
During the summer of 2007, Camp Shakespeare expanded to include the
“Groundlings,” younger people ages 8–10, in the program. While older campers
ages 12–18 rehearsed and performed a Shakespeare play in two weeks, the
Groundlings worked on scenes related to the work of the older students
(Shakespeare’s Magic, Shakespeare’s Clowns, etc.). The three-week advanced
camp concentrated on the classic theatre form of Commedia dell’arte. For
the first time, admission to the advanced camp was determined by audition.
There were also three “satellite” sessions during the summer, bringing Camp
Shakespeare to neighborhoods outside of Washington, D.C., (McLean and
Alexandria, Virginia; and Bethesda, Maryland.) In total, Camp Shakespeare
grew from 189 campers to more than 250 last year and produced 14 shows in
its nine-week run.
The Shakespeare Theatre Company offered opportunities for the public to
participate in a dialogue about Shakespeare through its Windows Discussions,
Classics in Context, Post-Performance and Theological discussions. These events
were facilitated by artists working on the productions and scholars in the fields of
classic theatre, literature, history and political science. (In one case, psychologist
Michael Houston provided his own psychological profile of Richard III.) More
than 1,700 community members attended the free Windows and Classics in
Context discussions. The season also saw the creation of the “Bard Lunches”
pilot program that led to the 2007–2008 season’s Happenings at the Harman.
During the Bard Lunches, participants enjoyed a lecture and discussion facilitated
by Shakespeare Theatre Company Trustee Ken Adelman about the Company’s
current production. As part of the Shakespeare in Washington celebration, actors
from our production of Hamlet participated in a post-show discussion with actors
from the Studio Theatre’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.

Classics in the Classroom explored theatre instruction, integration and
assessment in grades pre-K through 12 by providing professional development
opportunities for classroom teachers and specialists. Following an initial
orientation, workshops covered Art of Making Theatre: Creating, Presenting,
Responding; and Curriculum Connections. Resources provided to teachers in
the 2006–2007 season included one four-hour orientation and 10 three-hour
workshops, lesson plans aligned to the appropriate D.C. Standards of Learning
for each lesson introduced through our workshops, up to 45 Professional
Learning Units (three re-certification credits), and 11 opportunities to attend
live theatre productions throughout the D.C.-metro area. Thirty-nine D.C.
teachers were accepted into the program. Final assessments showed that the
teachers were twice as likely to use theatre to enhance student literacy, develop
curriculum, assess student performance and enhance classroom management.
This season of Master Acting classes (MAC) was the most successful to date.
The diverse class offerings included Acting Basics, Directing Shakespeare, Life
of the Mask and The Fray (a class on Restoration physicality and dance). Veteran
instructors such as Shakespeare Theatre Company Members Floyd King and
Andrew Long continued to teach in the program, and several new teaching artists
were brought on to increase the MAC offerings. A new class, Acting for Business
Professionals, became a staple of the class offerings, showing how theatre and
improvisation techniques can be used in the workplace.

During the 2006–2007 season, the Shakespeare Theatre Company employed five
acting fellows, 15 administrative and production interns and three summer interns.
The Training Programs Manager traveled as far as Arizona for college recruitment
fairs, increasing awareness about opportunities at the Shakespeare Theatre
Company. For the current season the Shakespeare Theatre Company recruited
eight acting fellows, 19 administrative and production interns, and six summer
interns.

At the close of the season, our Education Director, Dawn McAndrews, accepted
the position of Artistic Director of the Shakespeare Festival of St. Louis. Dawn
had been with the theatre for eight years and was the creative force behind the
Department’s training programs, such as the Theatre History Initiative, Teaching
Artist Training Lab, Classics in the Classroom and the new SHAKESPEARIENCE

In anticipation of the opening of the Harman Center for the Arts, the Education
Department had to find a way to communicate with its 800-plus volunteers
about the changes in the theatre, while also more than doubling the volunteer
pool. The Education Department undertook the enormous task of restructuring
the volunteer program by creating an online registration form to make the
registration process run more smoothly and hiring a Training Programs
Coordinator to assist in interviewing and orienting volunteers. Each department
designated a volunteer coordinator, who became the point of contact between
the department and volunteers. This made the process of locating willing
volunteers more efficient, and every department saw an increase in volunteer
participation.

The Academy for Classical Acting is entirely dedicated to training tomorrow’s
classical actors today. ACA’s highly physical, rigorous training is part of a oneyear master of fine arts immersion program, with an exceptional number of
contact hours between students and professional faculty. Its curriculum consists
of five full days of classes and rehearsals for 12 consecutive months, including
performances of fully staged ACA productions. Beginning in mid-late August and
finishing in mid-July, the training involves 44 weeks of instruction.
In addition to ongoing feedback in classes, students meet twice during each
semester with individual faculty members. These conferences allow for private
one-on-one conversations to clarify progress, define areas for growth, and
develop strategies for improvement and change.
Currently the ACA has more than 100 working alumni who are on stage at the
best regional theatres in the country. Because of the program’s design, the
one-year MFA allows actors to return to their flourishing stage lives improved
and much more marketable. Dawn Ursula, a 2007 ACA member who is now a
company member at both Everyman Theatre in Baltimore and Woolly Mammoth
Theatre, recounts that “The Academy for Classical Acting at The George
Washington University was the perfect training at the perfect time in my life. The
ACA was made for professional actors like me who are midstream in their careers;
it’s the only one-year MFA program dedicated to classical playwrights. The ACA
refined my skills, and I feel like I can do anything!”.
COLLABORATIVE PROGRAMS
Shakespeare in Washington
In keeping with the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s goal to establish the nation’s
capital as a major destination for the performing arts, the Company played a
leadership role in the city-wide Shakespeare in Washington festival. Conceived
by Michael Kaiser of the Kennedy Center and curated by Michael Kahn, the sixmonth festival celebrated the genius of the man known as “The Bard,” William
Shakespeare. More than 60 arts organizations from Washington and around the
world came together for the festival, which featured a vast array of theatre, music
and dance, as well as films, art exhibits and many other events at the Kennedy
Center and other venues across the D.C. area.
The festival realized hopes and exceeded expectations with more than 100
events and demonstrated the significant potential that exists in D.C. for publicprivate partnerships. The Washington Convention and Tourism Corporation set
up the website ShakespeareInWashington.org, while the Kennedy Center and the
Shakespeare Theatre Company collaborated on events and marketing efforts. In
addition, participants funded their own programs, ensuring that the majority of
the events were free. Particular highlights include:
18
•
Staged reading of Twelfth Night co-presented by the Kennedy Center and
the Shakespeare Theatre Company as a part of the Millennium Stage series.
Directed by Michael Kahn and Associate Director David Muse, the free
reading was staged at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall with attendees filling
2,400 seats. The line for admission extended the length of the Hall of Nations
and nearly wrapped around the entire Kennedy Center.
•
Romeo and Juliet, produced collaboratively by the Shakespeare Theatre
Company, the Washington Ballet, the Washington National Opera and
The Suzanne Farrell Ballet, synthesized the purpose of the Festival. It
communicated Shakespeare’s reach through the disciplines while still
honoring his mastery with text, story and character. A great many children
attended the performance and had their first experience with Shakespeare.
•
The Trial of Hamlet was co-sponsored by the Shakespeare Theatre Company and the Kennedy Center. The brainchild of Supreme Court Justice Anthony
Kennedy, the mock trial was initially scheduled to take place in the Kennedy
Center’s 550-seat Terrace Theater, but tickets quickly sold out, and the event
moved to the 1,100-seat Eisenhower Theater, which also sold out.
The landmark event drew press from across the nation—including the LA Times,
Boston Globe, New York Times, USA Today, International Herald Tribune, Playbill
and Variety, in addition to extensive local coverage from The Washington Post,
Baltimore Sun and Washington Times, among others. Almost 70 articles were
written about the Festival overall, and The Washington Post and Washington
Times each devoted an edition of their weekend publication to the Shakespeare
in Washington festival.

Love’s Labor’s Lost at Stratford
In August of 2006, the Shakespeare Theatre Company traveled to Stratfordupon-Avon, England, for two weeks of performances at the Royal Shakespeare
Company’s Complete Works Festival. One of only four American companies
invited to participate in the Festival, the Shakespeare Theatre Company
presented Michael Kahn’s production of Love’s Labor’s Lost in the RSC’s Swan
Theatre. The Shakespeare Theatre Company was invited to the perform at the
festival by Michael Boyd, the RSC’s artistic director, who became familiar with the
Company’s work during the RSC’s residencies at the John F. Kennedy Center for
Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
Before traveling to Stratford, the production ran in Washington, D.C., at the
Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Lansburgh Theatre. Variety called the Stratford
production “clever and colorful … a production that neither British nor D.C.
audiences will soon forget,” while The Telegraph confirmed Variety’s prediction:
“What a pleasure it is to see this dauntingly difficult comedy reinvented with such
panache ... a modern twist that proves both ingenious and deliciously funny.”

The year-long festival featured the entire Shakespeare canon and embraced film,
new writing and contemporary music, as well as current Shakespeare theatre
artists. The festival celebrated the truly global reach of the greatest writer in the
English language and, for the first time, presented all 37 plays, the sonnets and
long poems at the same event.

Whether it is attending exclusive Opening Night pre-performance dinners at one of Washington’s most
sought-after locations, or mingling with artists at Meet the Cast events on the first day of rehearsal for each
new production, Shakespeare Theatre Company patrons have unique opportunities to be a part of the art
throughout the season. Here are a few highlights from last season:
2007 William Shakespeare Award for Classical Theatre
The Shakespeare Theatre Company’s 20th Anniversary William Shakespeare
Award Gala was a huge success. The Company’s principal fundraising event,
the 2007 Will Award raised more than $540,000 to support the Free For All.
The Mellon Auditorium was beautifully decorated to reflect Love’s Labor’s Lost,
which was reprised at the 2007 Free For All.
22
To celebrate the 20th Anniversary, the Will Award was presented to the core
company members of the Shakespeare Theatre Company, artists who have
brought this organization to the pinnacle of artistic excellence. Since 1986,
together with Michael Kahn, they have brought to vibrant life groundbreaking,
thought-provoking and eminently accessible classic theatre in a uniquely
American style. The Company’s reputation has been built on the performances
of these outstanding actors, and the award honored their storied history and
legacy in the world of classical theatre.
Gala Co-Chair Kathleen Matthews opened the evening by arriving on one
of the original Vespas from Love’s Labor’s Lost. Directors Keith Baxter and
Gale Edwards introduced the actors of the Company, and Michael Kahn and
Chairman of the Board of Trustees Landon Butler presented the awards.

Will on the Hill
Meet the Cast
Will on the Hill took place at the Lansburgh Theatre on Monday, May 7, 2007.
The benefit, chaired by Mike House and Gina Rigby House, raised more than
$200,000 for the Shakespeare Theatre Company—more than twice what this
event raised in 2006. The evening was an extraordinary success as an audience
of nearly 200 Washingtonians enjoyed an original production by local playwright
Norman Allen, based on scenes from Romeo and Juliet and starring Members
of Congress, Washington media notables and area business leaders. The cast
included Senator Robert Bennett, Representatives Spencer Bachus, Jane Harman,
Darlene Hooley, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Ed Markey, Cliff Stearns and John
Tanner, as well as Dr. Sidney Harman, Dr. Susan Blumenthal, Honorable Nora
Mead Brownell (Former FERC Commissioner), Frank Fahrenkopf, Jr. (American
Gaming Association), Honorable Stuart Holliday (Meridian International), Sheila
Johnson (Washington Mystics), Jim Kimsey (The Kimsey Foundation), Charles
Krauthammer (The Washington Post), Honorable Bonnie McElveen-Hunter
(American Red Cross), Honorable William Newman, Jr. (Arlington Circuit Court),
Nina Totenberg (National Public Radio) and actress Helen Carey.

PROGRAMS
CENTER FOR THE ARTS
With the formation of the Harman Center for the Arts—which includes the new Sidney Harman Hall and the
Lansburgh Theatre—the Shakespeare Theatre Company has become a national destination theatre offering a
broad range of works to audiences in the greater-Washington area and across the nation.
The creation of the Harman Center for the Arts provides state-of-the-art, affordable, mid-sized venues to
outstanding local, national and international performing arts companies. The Harman Center for the Arts
encourages synergy among sister arts organizations and stimulates an ongoing artistic dialogue that embraces
all of the performing arts, while affording the Shakespeare Theatre Company the opportunity to expand its
24
education and accessibility programs and engage diverse audiences in the arts.
The most dramatic progress made on the construction of the Sidney Harman Hall took place during the
2006–2007 season. During this season, the building and its interiors truly took shape. These photographs
highlight the development made over the past season and the finished features of this amazing space.
Grand Staircase
Architect A.J. Diamond’s interpretation of Shakespeare’s famous phrase “All the
world’s a stage” can be seen in the beautiful glass façade that extends out eight
feet above the sidewalk on F Street, providing an inimitable 15-block vista from
Union Station to the United States Treasury Building.
Ascending from the Arlene and Robert Kogod Lobby, the Philip L. Graham Fund
Grand Staircase East and the Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation Grand
Staircase West carry patrons and artists through the Michael Kahn Arts and
Education Center, the Arlene and Robert Kogod Lobby, the Orchestra Terrace
and the Clark Mezzanine Terrace. Created from reinforced glass and natural stone,
these staircases have glass railings and provide luminous pathways for patrons to
visit all floors of Sidney Harman Hall.

Building Exterior
The Landon and Carol Butler Theatre Stage
The magnificent bay windows of the 3,000-square-foot Orchestra Terrace rise
five stories, overlooking F Street and the entrance to the Verizon Center. The
Orchestra Terrace is the main gathering place for patrons seated in the theatre’s
orchestra section. As Harman Hall’s largest public space, it is also the site for
education programs, pre-performance lectures and special events. The Orchestra
Terrace houses Will’s Tavern, a 25-foot-long two-sided service bar, which offers
beverages and light snacks before performances and during intermission.
The theatre stage located inside Sidney Harman Hall features a proscenium
that flies, walls that move, and the most technically advanced and flexible stage
technology of any theatre space in Washington, D.C. Lined with rich African
cherry wood, the theatre stage provides audience members with an inviting and
comfortable contemporary space. The performance space is designed to be
transformed from a traditional proscenium stage into a thrust stage, an arena stage
and an open stage to accommodate a wide range of theatre, dance, music and
spoken-word programming. The state-of-the-art theatre stage design ensures that
audiences will enjoy a broad range of performing arts events.

“Three and a half Stars … Kjetil Bang-Hansen more than achieves the company’s
traditional level of excellence. The stage belongs to the believable and heartfel
emotion of Joseph Urla. Philip Goodwin is masterful and chilling.” Garrett M. Graff
The Washingtonian, on An Enemy for the People “Funny … The production glides
confidently from silly to wry, from the pratfall to the riposte … Suave Christopher
Innvar and tart Veanne Cox [are] polished comic actors who seem as smart as the
words they utter.” Peter Marks, The Washington Post, on The Beaux’ Strategem
“Unforgettable theater … smartly staged, wonderfully acted, and gorgeously
rendered. Kahn’s Richard III possesses charm, menace and malice to spare.” Patrick
Folliard, Washington Blade, on Richard III “Four Stars … Edwards succeeds mightily
in balancing this parade of destruction with the emotional journeys Shakespeare
offers … she has kept it free of exploitation and excessive prurience and still made i
relevant. This Titus is high on action with enough superb displays of choreography
and well-rehearsed stage-craft to keep even the YouTube crowd rapt.” Kate Wingfield
Metro Weekly, on Titus Andronicus “Ingenious … A straight-up modern-dress take
The Company’s done its characteristic deep meditation on the text and come away
with fresh moments that enliven Shakespeare’s oft-heard words … open[ing] up the
production in satisfying, unexpected ways.” Glen Weldon, Washington City Paper, on
