About ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’
“I thought the performance was wonderful! The actors were amazing, making the Shakespearean language easy understood through their actions. I was not sure how it would work with the actors playing several roles, but they definitely pulled it off! The set was simple but effective. The students enjoyed the question and answer period following the play.”
Faculty, Nashua Christian Academy
The actors were skilled. My students especially loved Puck’s energy. The simplicity of the set was good for them to see. Their imagination had to do most of the creating- and it did! My students were spellbound!”
Faculty, Whiting Hill School
“The actors provided interesting interpretations of the characters, making the play as accessible as I’ve ever seen it. The students enjoyed the choices made. I loved the play! I liked the simple but dynamic set. It was perfect for student accessibility, The costumes made the different characters played by the same actors clearly delineated.”

About Hamlet
“Thank you for a wonderful experience yet again! The performance was marvelous; the kids left the theatre talking about it and the conversations continued today (Monday) in school. They were thrilled to have the opportunity to see Hamlet on stage. It’s an experience that the kids – and myself- will never forget. Bravo!”
Faculty, Lowell High School

Faculty, Manchester Central High School
“I wanted to tell you how sensational the performance was last night. The fellow who played Hamlet was outstanding. It was such an unusual performance: he brought out so much of the humor in the play, and there were scenes, where I had known the dialogue for years, in which I got more insight than any previous production. Really, I kept having these moments of thinking, ‘Oh, THAT’S what that dialogue is about; yeah, that makes sense.’ You can’t ask for more than that. Congratulations on the production.”

About Agamemnon
“Thank you again for the brilliant production of Agamemnon. There are a few reasons I keep coming back and each of them is compelling. First and foremost, you understand what is important to high school students and teachers. You put on plays that appeal to young people but also challenge them. You do this at a great price that allows us to be all-inclusive. Best of all, though, are the performances and this (production) did not disappoint. You chose one of my favorite plays, something I have been dreaming of since my junior year in college, and then you surprised me with a translation even better than the one I had always been taught was ‘the best.’ The Q&A at the end really sold them (students) on the professionalism of the actors. They may never know how lucky they are, getting brilliant productions of live, classical theater in rural New Hampshire! May it never end.”

Faculty, Bishop Guertin High School
“Excellent. we really enjoyed your production of Oedipus. The day after attending I did a quick five minute free write on the lessons being taught in the play and was really impressed with the student’s ability to respond. It was a valuable field trip!”

“What I liked best was the sense of history implicit in the (live) pre-show music, it really set the tone for the performance. Costumes were awesome; they lent an air of reality. I really loved Tieresias! What a great twist to have a female in the role.”
Faculty, Lisbon Reg. High School
“My students loved the clarification of the text in the script. They noticed the subtle changes that made it easier to understand. They lauded the performances especially Oedipus. “
Faculty, John Stark Reg. High School

About ‘POEms, Poetry and Prose of Edgar Allan Poe’
“For such complex works, the interpretations of Poe’s poetry and prose were outstanding. The movement and speech of the actors was precise and beautifully portrayed. For students as young as mine (7th grade), they were able to piece together Poe’s works and have a deeper understanding and appreciation of literature due to the wonderful performances. The simplicity of design: the dimmed lighting, the faint musical sound perfectly cued, and the addition of one or two props left viewers to the inventiveness of their imaginations. These elements added to the horror and suspense of Poe’s work.”
Locke Middle School, Billerica, MA
“Wonderful. The actors were terrific as usual. For most of the students this was the first professional performance they have seen. They really enjoyed it. It brought the stories and poems of Poe alive for them. At first the students didn’t understand why the stage was so sparse but once the actors began, their focus was on the actors and their performance not the set. Lighting and props were great!
West High School, Manchester, NH
(Reservation system) All terrific. I look forward to the upcoming production mailings. The theatre is flexible with reservations and payment. It’s easy to get in touch with someone when needed.
