First of all thanks to all who attended the reading on the September 27th. We raised just over 2,000 dollars! Choosing a play for our first production was not so easy, there where many things to consider such as: what is the story of the play, is this play right for the actors in the company?, is this play relevant today?, and, does it speak to me as an artist? We had applied for the rights to two very special plays but were denied by the publishing company. With time closing in on us we had to think quick and pull together. After many hours of racking our brains on what the best step to take would be, we decided on a series of plays by my favorite playwright Don Nigro. I had directed a few of his plays before and quite honestly would not mind directing anything he wrote. His ability to tell a story is unlike any other playwright I've read. Plus my favorite aspect about his work is that the audience is always engaged as the story comes fast and the audience must add up all the circumstances of the story... playing "catch up" in a way. I truly believe that being denied the rights for our first two was a blessing in disguise. i, as a director, am super excited to direct theses plays particularly with these actors. I invite everyone to please come see this fun fun show! See you at the theatre… Shawn Renfro |

News for Now
Welcome to the Home of The Apothecary Theatre Company! We are very excited to have assembled a theatre company of fellow artists, from actors to designers to playwrights, and want to invite you to be a part of our growing community. Please explore our website and get to know us and our goals. We are currently meeting to discuss options and read through possible material for our first staged reading this summer and our premiere production this winter in Manhattan. As material is the source that separates theatre companies from one another in this highly diverse business, we are taking the initiative to select the plays that will create the best experiences for our audience. Our company was founded by Executive Director Dennis Flanagan and Artistic Director Shawn Renfro and quickly expanded to include fellow alumni from Rutgers University’s Mason Gross School of the Arts. The group was handpicked by our directors and have since been getting together to discuss the future of our endeavors. All of the Founding Members of The Apothecary Theatre Company have studied at Rutgers University’s Mason Gross School of the Arts. MGSA, located in the New Brunswick campus of Rutgers, is a Meisner-based conservatory where students from all over the country come to study theatre. Members of the BFA program also have the opportunity to study abroad at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London and train with some of the best teachers of classical text. The combination of these techniques have instilled a unique character to the participating actors and it is that shared sense of training that has helped to begin the Apothecary Theatre Company. The Apothecary Theatre Company is a not for profit corporation and all donations are tax-deductible. We are in need of the public’s support to produce our material and continue to thrive in this business. To make a donation, please go to Contact Us in the above menu. Any support is greatly appreciated. |
