Our Mission
The Theater is a sacred place: it is a public forum where actors and audience gather to contemplate what it means to be human. Shakespeare and his contemporaries grappled with that question in some of the English language's best poetry, leaving behind a canon of compelling stories with universal themes that provide invigorating challenge for actors and an awe-inspiring legacy for audiences. Classical Actors Ensemble is dedicated to engaging audiences by capturing the spirit in which the plays of the English Renaissance were originally performed—with immediacy, passion, and as popular entertainment.
