What is TCTP?

The Classic Theatre Project is a cooperative theatre company that produces classical theatre from across the globe in intimate settings since our first show in 2001. Our passion for the classics drives us to bring timeless stories to life in a way that resonates with modern audiences.

What... no smoke machines?

We believe in creating theatre in its purest form: stripped back and intimate so that we can explore the beauty and power of outstanding writing, shared with quality, crafted performances in a way that our guests can enjoy the communal experience of coming into the circle with us, and leave forever changed.

How do I get involved?

We’d love you to join us in this project! Give our Facebook a Like and we’ll keep you up to date with coming auditions and calls for new team members to join us in directing, stage management and tech.
