SHAKESPEARE FACTORY
Location: BALTIMORE, MD
Type: Theater
The Baltimore Shakespeare Factory’s core mission is to perform the works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries using what is known of the staging conditions of Shakespeare’s time: universal lighting that allows for audience interaction, cross-gender casting, doubling, use of modern music in the pre-show and interludes. The Baltimore Shakespeare Factory is dedicated to the careful study of Shakespeare’s language and will require actors to analyze that language carefully and in depth.
