Intimate Shakespeare & Chamber Music
We combine the finest Shakespeare performance with a gourmet dining experience (or any other special element of your private event) to create a unique feast of theater and live chamber music.
WHAT WE OFFER
At the core, we’re a theater troupe with over twenty active members, comprised of world-class Equity actors and musicians.
Whether for 5 guests or 100, the performance surrounds and envelops the audience, creating an atmosphere of intimacy and excitement.
We can come to your place with our phenomenal master chef Max Hansen (Thomas Keller protégé) or we can provide both venue and catering arrangements.
We have several partnerships with exclusive venues in NYC and the tri-state area, including the Castle Hotel & Spa in Tarrytown and Casa Clara and The Players in the Gramercy area.

CATERING
Our sumptuous feasts can vary in size from a fine selection of hors d’oeuvres to a 3 to 5 course menu, including cheeseboards, appetizers, entrée, desserts, coffee & tea, etc.
Several menu budget options available.
“It is thrilling to be a part of a magical environment where an old-world club dining room or ballroom is transformed, not through fancy sets and lights, but through food, wine, physical imagination, and Shakespeare’s language.”
“The productions are a harmonious blend of music, lighting, theatre, food and drink, amounting to a communal atmosphere that harks back to the experience of catching a theatre performance in Elizabethan times.”
“Throughout the evening, we bonded over The Tempest, wine and food, art and culture, travel and more, and that’s precisely what made it such a uniquely, memorable time: it was a highly immersive evening of theater and food that sparked many conversations.”
