Mission Statement

Past is Prologue Productions aims to ignite the world with fresh perspectives on Shakespeare’s work.  Through film, theatre, dance, and other forms of art and performance, we take a new approach to old work, always starting with the text, and finding interpretations to help make this canon of plays more relevant and meaningful to a modern audience.  ​

Core Values

1. Start with the text. (Shakespeare’s words come first.)

2. Embrace inclusivity. (Diverse voices and perspectives are essential.)

3. Think outside the box. (Find a creative way to do something that hasn’t been done before.)

4. Collaborate always. (The best ideas and art come from working together to create.)

Vision

Past is Prologue Productions will grow organically through the years into the future, creating new work as inspiration and opportunity connect.  Eventually, Past is Prologue Productions will produce each of Shakespeare’s plays in exciting and innovative ways.
