Earlier this year, Seattle Shakespeare Company presented Bring Down the House. Adapted by Rosa Joshi and Kate Wisniewski, it was an epic 2-part adaptation of Shakespeare’s Henry VI trilogy. Produced in partnership with the upstart crow collective, the cast was entirely women. “Here we were highlighting power structures,” notes Mount, “and we were tech-ing the production the day the Women’s March was taking place.

Through that process, new ideas and perspectives within the story were brought to light. “We have to keep doing that,” Mount says of stories audiences know by heart. “Take them apart and reimagine them. We have to look at each play afresh and askance.”

ACT Theatre's Artistic Director John Langs looks to past works to see the future. “Producing the classics assists us in our vision of finding the classic theatre of tomorrow,” he says. This fall, Langs directs The Crucible at ACT. The classic Miller play about the Salem witch trials that is really about the dangers of McCarthyism stunned audiences when it premiered in 1953.

6 ENCORE STAGES WOODEN O SPONSORS WHAT’S IN A NAME? Our name is a misnomer when you start to consider it. In 1991, the company set out to produce professional productions of Shakespeare’s works for the Seattle area. But time has a way of changing things. After more than 25 years of producing the classics, our reach and influence has expanded well beyond the confines of the city.

You might be surprised to learn that the majority of the people who see our shows don’t live in the city of Seattle at all. In fact, you may be one of those people! This summer more than a third of the people who attend a Wooden O production will come from outside the Seattle-city area. Many who attend a Wooden O show don’t ever see any other Seattle Shakespeare Company shows. They just have an annual tradition of free Shakespeare in the park each summer. And that’s great!

Seattle Shakespeare Company’s touring productions perform in 14 Washington State counties. That’s a lot of time spent on the road! Next year we expect to reach 15,000 middle school and high school students through 60 performances of our small-cast productions of the classics.

While our base of operation is in Seattle with our 5 indoor productions, most of our audience is lives beyond the city limits. Maybe it’s time to rethink our name . . .
