Since its first season of performances in 2004-2005, The Actors’ Shakespeare Project has become known for vivid productions of the Bard’s plays, ranging from acknowledged masterpieces on the order of The Merchant of Venice, Much Ado About Nothing, King Lear, Macbeth, and Twelfth Night, to less frequently presented works such as King John, Love’s Labour’s Lost, and Titus Andronicus.
Working as an ensemble of resident company members, ASP offers intimate productions and outreach programs in diverse venues including Midway Studios in South Boston, Downstairs at the Garage in Harvard Square, and the Armory in Somerville, Mass.
