AQ U I L A T H E AT R E Aquila Theatre’s mission is to make classical works accessible to the greatest number. A play becomes ‘classical’ because we recognize that after a time it transcends the original culture it was created for. It retains the power to provoke the central question of what it means to be human. As a company dedicated to the classics, we feel a responsibility to acknowledge and explore newfound classical works. Founded in London in 1991 by Peter Meineck, Aquila is now based in New York City. Aquila’s programs include: PRODUCTIONS IN NEW YORK CITY: Aquila is a major part of New York’s theatrical landscape, producing a regular season of plays. Aquila recently produced Euripides’ Herakles at Brooklyn Academy of Music, Shakespeare’s Macbeth at the GYM at Judson, Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Pirandello’s Six Characters in Search of an Author, Shakespeare’s As You Like It and Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People at the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts at New York University, and Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 and Homer’s The Iliad: Book One Off-Broadway at the Lucille Lortel Theatre.
INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCES: Aquila has appeared in numerous festivals and at venues around the world including performances in London, Holland, Germany, Greece, Scotland, Canada, and Bermuda. Aquila recently performed Euripides’ Herakles at the Festival of the Aegean in Syros, Greece and the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation in Athens. EDUCATION PROGRAMS: Aquila is dedicated to theatre arts education and produces three major initiatives: Workshop America, a nationwide program that provides an opportunity for people to share in the art of Aquila; Theatre Breakthrough, which brings America’s schools to the stage; and Shakespeare Leaders, an after-school program that enables inner-city students to perform the classics at Frederick Douglas Academy in Harlem, NYC. YOUSTORIES: Aquila’s new YouStories program, presented in partnership with the National Endowment for the Humanities continues the work of Aquila’s Ancient Greek/Modern Lives program. YouStories features events held nationally at public libraries and arts’ centers across the United States. It puts a special emphasis on Veterans and their families, while connecting the classics to our modern lives. YouStories will feature a brand new interactive App (Mobile Application) which will, among other things, allow users to submit their own stories.

As a company dedicated to the classics, we feel a responsibility to acknowledge and explore newfound classical works. Founded in London in 1991 by Peter Meineck, Aquila is now based in New York City. Aquila’s programs include: PRODUCTIONS IN NEW YORK CITY: Aquila is a major part of New York’s theatrical landscape, producing a regular season of plays. Aquila recently produced Euripides’ Herakles at Brooklyn Academy of Music, Shakespeare’s Macbeth at the GYM at Judson, Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Pirandello’s Six Characters in Search of an Author, Shakespeare’s As You Like It and Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People at the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts at New York University, and Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 and Homer’s The Iliad: Book One Off-Broadway at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. A MAJOR ANNUAL NATIONAL TOUR: Aquila is the foremost producer of touring classical theatre in the United States, visiting 60-70 American cities per year. Aquila’s 2012/2013 Season was Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew and Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac. The 2011/2012 Season was Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest. The 2010/2011 Season was Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Pirandello’s Six Characters in Search of an Author. Aquila’s 2009/2010 Season of Shakespeare’s As You Like It and Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People began with The Festival of the Aegean on Syros, Greece and the Shakespeare Festival/LA. The 2013/2014 Season will be Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451.
INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCES: Aquila has appeared in numerous festivals and at venues around the world including performances in London, Holland, Germany, Greece, Scotland, Canada, and Bermuda. Aquila recently performed Euripides’ Herakles at the Festival of the Aegean in Syros, Greece and the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation in Athens. EDUCATION PROGRAMS: Aquila is dedicated to theatre arts education and produces three major initiatives: Workshop America, a nationwide program that provides an opportunity for people to share in the art of Aquila; Theatre Breakthrough, which brings America’s schools to the stage; and Shakespeare Leaders, an after-school program that enables inner-city students to perform the classics at Frederick Douglas Academy in Harlem, NYC. YOUSTORIES: Aquila’s new YouStories program, presented in partnership with the National Endowment for the Humanities continues the work of Aquila’s Ancient Greek/Modern Lives program. YouStories features events held nationally at public libraries and arts’ centers across the United States. It puts a special emphasis on Veterans and their families, while connecting the classics to our modern lives. YouStories will feature a brand new interactive App (Mobile Application) which will, among other things, allow users to submit their own stories.
