Treehouse Official Season and Mission Announcement

Treehouse Shakespeare Ensemble's season has been finalized! This year we'll be putting on productions of Macbeth, Two Gentlemen of Verona, Galatea, The Duchess of Malfi (catch yours truly as the Duchess), Edward II, and The Birth of Merlin. Read our mission statement below:

Treehouse Shakespeare Ensemble, the MFA company of Mary Baldwin University's Shakespeare and Performance program, is a theatre group reaching out with the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries to audiences new and familiar, near and far. We foster environments for performance and education where we illuminate lesser-known texts and reinvent familiar titles. We engage with audiences through resident and touring shows, workshops, and supplemental digital resources to give voice to stories of female agency, sexual identity, and communities in peril.

Built on a stable foundation, a treehouse is a place for personal development through creativity, imagination, and exploration. We believe that, like building a treehouse in the supportive branches of an old tree, we can use the theatre of Shakespeare to support and inspire creative solutions for communities while encouraging creativity in our audiences. Through our commitment to unifying performance and education, we hope that the seeds of conversation and creativity will continue to flourish within and beyond our found community long after our season.

Treehouse Shakespeare Ensemble is branching out and building up. Come grow with us.
