WELCOME TO ARACHNE THEATER!

Arachne Theater is a nonprofit producing theater putting forth classical stories that resonate with our audiences today. We create productions that though familiar are accessible, exciting, and foster a curiosity for classical works. We believe that taking an irreverent approach to text makes stories authentic to today, and that theatermakers and storytellers come from all walks of life.


While we have a specific interest in Shakespeare, our shows include anything from Ancient canons, older stories adapted for the stage, and original stagings of classic works. Our season includes our annual free outdoor Summer Season, made possible by the NYC Parks Department, as well as indoor performances in the Fall and Winter.
