| the Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company |
Michigan's only year-round, touring professional Shakespeare company
Based in Grand Haven, Michigan, the Pigeon
Creek Shakespeare Company seeks to offer
performances of Shakespeare's works to
Michigan audiences in a variety of non-traditional
theatre venues.
Pigeon Creek Shakespeare employs techniques
of theatrical performance such as universal
lighting and audience contact to adapt its
productions to multiple performance venues, and
to actively engage audience members in
performance.
The company's goals are to explore the original
theatrical practices of the acting companies of
Shakespeare's time; to provide high quality
productions of works by Shakespeare and his
contemporaries to regional theatre audiences; to
provide local actors, directors, and stage
managers the opportunity to work with these
wonderful scripts and to receive training in an
original practice approach to Shakespeare's
plays; and to maintain an organizational
philosophy in which theatre practitioners
participate in the administration of the company
on a regular basis.
