Actors’ Shakespeare Project

About

Actors’ Shakespeare Project is a professional theater company that sets out to explore robust language, resonant stories and deeply human characters. Founded in 2004, it is built around a Resident Artist Company, and its ensemble-based work focuses on intimacy, storytelling, language, relationships, voice, risk and artistry. Rather than staying in one venue, ASP performs and works in found spaces, schools, theaters and neighborhoods throughout the Boston area.

The repertoire reaches well beyond Shakespeare: the 2026-27 season includes Dracula, Jane Austen Abridged, Hamlet and August Wilson’s Jitney. Alongside its productions, the company also runs extensive education, youth and community programs. The company has won numerous Elliot Norton Awards for Outstanding Production, the Boston-area theater honors, and it is listed in Watertown, where it is part of the local business coalition.
