AQUILA THEATRE 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: 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 2011/2012 Season is 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 2012/2013 Season will be Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew and Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac.

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 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 Insert 6

Catch-22 and Homer’s The Iliad: Book One Off-Broadway at the Lucille Lortel Theatre.

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. ANCIENT GREEKS/MODERN LIVES: Aquila has been awarded a highly prestigious NEH Chairman’s Special Award for a major national humanities program, Ancient Greeks/Modern Lives: Poetry-DramaDialogue, traveling to 100 public libraries and art centers across America. www.ancientgreeksmodernlives.org.
