Sister Companies:
The below are companies with whom PAE has
collaborated and continue to have an ongoing relationship.
Northwest Classical Theatre
Company - from their Web site (www.nwctc.org)
The NWCTC is dedicated to performing great plays by great
writers placing the emphasis on text and authorial intention rather than
directorial conception. By cutting back on stage pyrotechnics and
limiting our use of set and costume, we focus the attention on the word
and story that we try to tell. Our company motto is “Content over
Concept!”
Original Practice
Shakespeare Festival
- from their Web site (www.opsfest.org)
First Folio editions of Shakespeare’s plays include all the cues an
actor needs to perform his or her role without rehearsal. This
allows the truest reaction to the story as it progresses. The Ops
Fest performs using the same performance techniques as they did in
Shakespeare's own time, which means limited rehearsal, an onstage
prompter, and changing roles each performance. This lends a much
more immediate, organic, improvisational feel to the performances.
Original Practice:
because Shakespeare should be a little
dangerous
POST5 THEATRE
- from their Web site (post5theatre.com)
Through the passionate
undertaking of classical and contemporary works alike, we aim to produce
fresh, youthful, ensemble-based live theatre experiences. We feel our
community desperately deserves a new and affordable theatre outlet; we
strive to deliver just that through effervescent and energetic offerings
of “…the
play”… Free of charge.
WILLamette SHAKESPEARE
- from their Web site (www.willametteshakespeare.org)
Willamette Shakespeare is a non-profit theatre company
based in Oregon's Willamette Valley. We are dedicated to providing
classical theatre, free of charge, to audiences of all ages in Portland
and the Willamette Valley wine country |
