Timon of Athens with The Acting Company & Play On Shakespeare

An often-overlooked Shakespearean text, Timon of Athens is a darkly complex story of an Athenian nobleman who transforms from popular host and generous patron to a misanthropic recluse when his “fair weather friends” take his kindness for granted.

Cast: Zach Appelman, Merritt Janson, John Keating, Soph Metcalf, Joshua David Robinson, Emily Shain, Richard Topol, Tatiana Wechsler, and Max Woertendyke. Modern verse translation by Kenneth Cavander. Website, program, and poster.


Henry V at MIT

Henry V is one of Shakespeare's most open-hearted plays. It requires the cooperation of both an ensemble of actors and the audience in order to work its magic. Epic, generous, brutal, and romantic in equal measures, this play testifies to the value of telling stories about who we are and who we want to be. 

8 actors, 45 minutes. Script, program, and video.

20-minute semi-staged operas with American Opera Projects: The Switch by Joy Redmond and Aiden K. Feltkamp, Forever Entwined by Kervy Delcy and Anita Gonzalez, and The AstroCat by LJ White and Andi Lee Carter.

The AstroCat follows Félicette, a resourceful street cat selected for a groundbreaking space mission in France. Alongside her fellow feline hopeful space explorers, the posh Sophie and bohemian Béatrice, Félicette embarks on a journey to prove that cats, not just dogs, can be heroes. This quirky "opurra" features humor, feline camaraderie, and the indomitable spirit of cats inspired by the true story of the first (and only) cat in space.
