William Shakespeare's play Troilus and Cressida is set during the final days of the Trojan War—however, it isn’t a story about the fall of Troy. Instead, it is a play about storytellers and storytelling, about perspective, and about staring down the insurmountable. This ensemble-driven production will use Shakespeare’s text as a vehicle for exploring what it means to courageously move through life at a time when empires are collapsing.

Seating/Accessibility
Our seating is general admission "seat yourself" seating by default as our theater is a black box space where the seating varies each show. Troilus and Cressida is set up in three quarter thrust style where audience sits facing the actors from 3 of the four possible sides of a square. Our actors are also not wearing mics.
We have reserved four wheelchair accessible spots on the ground row for each performance. If you need to reserve a particular seat including one of our wheelchair spots, a spot in the front row for visual or audio accessibility, space for a service animal, or any other reason please reserve an Accessible Seating ticket and specify what your need is. If you have any questions please email [email protected].
