The Archive Theater’s mission is to breathe new life into classical theater and literature of the 16th through the 20th centuries. We create new translations and adaptations of beloved stories to make them more accessible to contemporary audiences. We develop exquisitely detailed, extensively researched, and historically informed productions that provide visual context and understanding for the stories we tell. We combine powerful storytelling, gorgeous costumes, swashbuckling adventure, and live music on period instruments to give our patrons a taste of living in another time, and another world.
