Description

Rude Grooms creates epicly intimate theatrical experiences rooted in the actor-audience relationship exemplified by Shakespeare’s acting company. Using interactive and responsive techniques of Early Modern English acting companies, we create interactive and accessible productions that provoke, inspire, & entertain, and we train Actor-Creators to tell their stories more clearly, bravely, & impulsively. We decentralize and increase access to the arts by bringing productions to multiple public spaces, non-traditional venues, and new media and offer free or affordable admission to all of our productions, which enriches our community through cultural engagement that is accessible financially, geographically, and artistically.


The Name
The name Rude Grooms comes from writer Robert Greene’s Groatsworth of Wit, where he rails against Shakespeare and other players-turned-writers of the late 16th Century (Johannes factotum as the Elizabethan equivalent for “jack of all trades”). We believe that actor-creators are an exciting and essential ingredient to a thriving theater culture, and hope to inspire many more theatrical upstart Crows, Tiger's hearts, and (of course) rude grooms.


"there is an upstart Crow,
beautified with our feathers,
that with his
Tiger’s heart wrapped in a Player’s hide
supposes he is as well able to bombast out a blank verse as the best of you:
and
being an absolute Johannes factotum
is in his own conceit the only Shake-scene in a country.
[…]
it is pity men of such rare wits
should be subject to the pleasure of such
rude grooms"
