WHO WE ARE
Located in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, Virginia’s premiere classical theatre is at once intimate in scale and epic in imagination—creating vital, sophisticated, and accessible seasons built around a company of versatile actors performing in repertory all year round. We are a center for shared discovery by audiences, scholars, and artists of Shakespeare, his contemporaries, and classics old and new.
MISSION
American Shakespeare Center illuminates the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, classic and new, refreshing the individual, fostering civil discourse, and creating community in the Blackfriars Playhouse and beyond.
VISION
The American Shakespeare Center is Shakespeare’s American Home – a beacon for all to feel more alive through the experience of Shakespeare, changing lives one encounter at a time.
BLACKFRIARS PLAYHOUSE
Our home base is the world’s only re-creation of Shakespeare’s indoor theatre. Since opening in 2001, the Playhouse has welcomed nearly one million guests to over 6,000 performances. We produce year round with 3 repertory seasons and complete the year with a production of A Christmas Carol. Most shows are performed in repertory with troupe members playing multiple roles in each show.
