It has been a whole month since we officially reunited in person!

Jumping back into our intensely physical process was surreal but thrilling.

It’s always a gift to spend this time working together and building unique shows to share with all of you!

If you didn’t get a chance to see A Midsummer Night's Dream, or would like to relive some of your favorite moments, check out these production photos.

📸: “Thank You” to Kevin Otterbine for capturing these gems for us.

Cast:
Leo Bond, Elise D'Avella, Alec Farquharson, Nicky Khor, Juli McGourty, Kevin Mucchetti, Jess Otterbine, Michael Pray

It has been one week since we closed A Midsummer Night's Dream and we have FINALLY finished unpacking and sorting props/ costumes! 🥵😁

An immense amount of behind-the-scenes dedication goes into making our 1.5 week summer residency in Connecticut possible… But it’s all worth it to see our company grow each year.

Thank you to everyone who came out to see us in Hamden Town Center Park!
It was incredible to see so many new faces alongside our loyal returning audience members.

If you weren’t able to make it but would like to show your support for our company, there is still time to donate to Tieline here:

Until next time, Hamden ✌️

The weather is holding up and our last performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream is starting soon!

Come on down to Hamden Town Center Park for 90 minutes of ridiculous antics and laughs.

We are planning to proceed with our 2pm show of A Midsummer Night's Dream today in Hamden Town Center Park (and praying that the rain holds off).

The forecast looks promising, but New England weather is a fickle thing.
So come prepared with umbrellas, rain jackets, perhaps a pop-up canopy, and chairs (the ground may be too wet for blankets) in case we get an unexpected shower.

Live Theater: Anything could happen!

Good morrow, gentle cousins! Haven’t been able to make it down to Hamden, CT to see the show? Never fear! Company member Michael Pray will be live-streaming the performance via his Twitch channel BoneChalkBroadcast tonight at 6:30PM! Tune in and feel free to comment along with the show in the text chat!

Baby’s First Shakespeare! 🎭
And she loved every minute of it.

Especially Bottom dressed as a “hop”….. (an interesting interpretation) 😉

Come see tonight at 6:30pm or (hopefully) tomorrow at 2:00pm

If we can keep the attention of a 2 year old, we must be pretty entertaining. Right?

Our 2pm matinee is getting under way!

Come join us again at 6:30pm and hopefully tomorrow at 2pm (weather permitting).

Bring chairs, blankets, umbrellas, snacks… whatever you need to spend 90 minutes watching some outdoor antics.

We love a good nightcap almost as much as we love a drunken recap.

Laugh along as Elise D'Avella and Jess Otterbine attempt to summarize A Midsummer Night's Dream for you…. while intoxicated.
(Think “Drunk History” but with Shakespeare. So… Drunk Fiction?)

Whether you have memorized Midsummer or know nothing about it, this video is for you.

Check it out and then come see us perform the full spectrum of antics this weekend in Hamden Town Center Park!

July 23 @ 6:30pm
July 24 @ 2pm and 6:30pm
July 25 @ 2pm

As performers of Shakespeare, we understand how confusing some of his plays can be. But never fear! Artistic Director Jess Otterbine and Director Elise D’Ave...
