SoHo Shakespeare Company is telling our stories from unexpected perspectives ...

We are a collective of crafty theatre makers challenging the mainstream narrative by making space for the overlooked to rise up, be heard, and take center stage. Our mission is to develop radical reinterpretations of classic texts and bold new works by rabble-rousing storytellers. Through live productions, community

programs, education, and outreach, we are dedicated to giving voice to the voiceless. Like the fox, forever digging and diving, theatre must always look to uncover hidden truths by listening to the people, in all our glorious diversity.

BEGINNING THIS WEEK — The most vital part of an actor’s journey is the consistent practice that happens between the bookings. It’s in the quiet of the studio where the real breakthroughs occur—away from the distractions of the industry and centered on the truth of the text.

While our name is rooted in the classics, our Advanced Scene Study I is an intensive for Contemporary acting, designed for the modern actor navigating today’s high-stakes theatre, film, and television landscape.

This isn’t a class about “getting it right.” It is a professional lab where you will:
Deconstruct Modern Text: Move beyond the surface of contemporary scripts to find the urgent, unspoken life of a scene.Expand Your Emotional Range: Practice the technical precision required to remain vulnerable and “dangerous” under the pressure of a professional set.Refine Your Process: Develop a repeatable, reliable preparation method that ensures you are booking-ready before you ever step into the room.

In this industry, so much is left to chance. We don’t control the casting director’s vision, the production’s budget, or the shifting landscape of the market. You can, however, control and own how prepared you are.

At SoHo Shakes, we believe that the time between bookings should be spent deepening the craft so that when the call comes in, you are undeniable prepared.

Our classes are designed to be your gym, your laboratory, and your professional anchor.

We’ve built our curricula for the actor who treats their work with the rigor of professional athlete and the depth of an Ivy League scholar.

Instead of a presidential grant, we’re looking for a “People’s Grant.” If our prank gave you a heart attack (or a glimmer of hope!), consider turning that energy into action. Your support ensures that theatre remains accessible, provocative, and alive in the heart of our city.

    •    $100 helps with scholarships.
    •    $500 helps fund our rehearsal spaces.
    •    $1,000 keeps our production standards world-class.

Don’t let the joke be on all of us. Support the arts today and help us prove that creativity can’t be canceled.

👉 Donate now at:
www.sohoshakes.org/donate

While we’d love to tell you a $10,000,000 check is headed to the our company, the reality is quite the opposite.

This April Fools’ prank comes with a serious side: federal support for the arts is currently facing unprecedented challenges, with the administration moving to significantly halt and reduce vital funding for cultural programs across the country.

At SoHo Shakes, we believe the arts are a necessity, not a luxury. Without federal backing, grassroots organizations like ours rely entirely on the strength of our community to keep the lights on and the curtains rising.

You stand a chance for Standby tickets, but this show is SOLD OUT!
— SoHo Shakes’ ANTIGONE —

From the director:
Anouilh’s ANTIGONE was first produced under the N**i occupation of France in February, 1942. It passed the N**i censors, and was approved for production by the Third Reich. Perhaps the classical title was a distraction.

In Anouilh’s adaptation we witness the cautionary tale of a party of survivors at war with itself, symbolizing a resistance to fascism and a mirror to our own fractured present. This is the tragedy of a “new order” fractured by a generational divide: between a veteran guard that “said yes” to the burden of leadership, and an iconoclastic generation that “says no” to the sacrifices that follow.

The ultimate tragedy is that the death of the idealist results in the apathy of the masses, and the wheel spins round and round. By choosing a convenient peace, we trade awareness for a false sense of security, accepting the promise of safety in exchange for silence, and thus elevate a society that is easiest to control. By silencing the radical voice, we leave ourselves vulnerable to the very authoritarians who seek to enslave us. Enter Fascism 2026.
