from the artistic director:

PAST: PROLOGUE
In July of 2000, a dozen actors arrived in New York's capital region, where they rehearsed and performed William Shakespeare's As You Like It over the course of one week. The process was decidedly "rough". There was no budget or staff to speak of, bats inhabited the theatre, and residents of the town occasionally walked in during rehearsals to shout advice. But as fortune would have it, the show was a hit. Audiences loved it, and actors loved having a place to focus on their craft and create exceptional theatre. From those most humble seeds, Bakerloo Theatre Project was born.

Every choice Bakerloo makes is predicated on the ideals of those first dozen actors. For nearly a decade, Bakerloo has provided theatre artists the opportunity to work on the greatest plays in the history of the
theatre in a supportive and creative setting. We have provided audiences with theatrical experiences they cannot find with any other theatre company. Nearly 100 artists have participated in the project, which has grown in every way imaginable. We have been lucky to find a home in Troy and see the city growing and changing along with us. Most importantly, we have a dedicated audience who continues to support us.

For our ninth season, we bring you the final plays of William Shakespeare and Anton Chekhov: The Tempest and Cherry Orchard. These plays are gifts, each offering insight into the collected wisdom imparted by these two masters of the literary canon. Haunting, funny and moving, both plays cast an eye back to the past while focusing on characters who are moving decidedly to a new future. Combining tragedy and comedy in revolutionary ways, these are truly stories of the human experience.

As we explore these remarkable plays, we cannot help but look back on the journey that brought us here. For each friendly face, helping hand, or heartfelt cheer, we are grateful. Like our characters this season, we also look to the future. Just short of our decade mark, we see a wealth of possibilities: daring theatre made by talented artists in a great city. This is truly the stuff that "dreams are made on”.

Thank you for being part of the 2008 season.

Sincerely,
William
