TUC Productions emphasizes respect for the playwright’s intentions, the actor’s craft, and the audience’s intellect.
The Upstart Crow Theatre Company performs classical theatre with a true passion and love for the playwright’s words. It is our love of language, of the finely crafted phrase that touches the soul, that draws us to the works of the world’s greatest playwrights. It is this love that drives our philosophy of fidelity to the original text.
