Incite Shakespeare Company Santa Fe
Mission
Incite Shakespeare Company Santa Fe is non-profit local theatre company. Our mission is to engage and build community through imaginative, entertaining, and insightful performances.
As an ensemble, we strive to develop productions that take Shakespeare’s plays off the pedestal and explore their resonance in our contemporary times. We examine power, play with gender, and experiment with process. We create productions that provoke complex thoughts and deep feelings. We aim to present Shakespeare’s work as we experience it: exciting, alive, edgy, full of beauty, imagination, change, contradiction, and complexity. We want our whole community, from actors to audiences, from designers to students, to feel energized by Shakespeare.
“The strength of the edits, direction, and production design of both plays aside, the greatest asset of these productions is the incredibly tight ensemble of players who perform both shows; the effectiveness of the common language, the common universe the entire company of actors inhabits without exception is a key element in the way these plays both wholly transcend the potential difficulties of production…[I]t is this reviewer’s strong recommendation that if at all possible, audience members catch both productions to see the remarkable transitions every actor in the company performs over the course of the weekend.”
