​Our Mission

​what:

To engage students and community to enjoy and benefit from the rich language and passionate action of Shakespeare’s plays as an exploration of our shared humanity.

​how:

By producing live performances and mentorship in a collaborative process that connects performing arts professionals, students and community members. 

​why:

We believe in the power of the literary and performing arts to connect community, transform individuals and inspire the next generation with the beauty of the English language.

Advice To The Players employs a diverse company of Union and non-union professionals, as well as community and youth actors, in each production. Advice To The Players is a unique company of theater professionals, enthusiastic community members, and energetic teens that has been performing Shakespeare and offering workshops in New Hampshire's Lakes and Mountains Region since 1999.

​Advice To The Players is committed to providing a healthy and respectful work and creative environment for all employees, contracted artists, volunteers, and community members, taking active measures towards anti-racism, as well as to support the safety of women, non-binary/gender-non-conforming individuals, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, People of the Global Majority, neurodivergent individuals, and people with disabilities.

We are also proud to be in an ongoing relationship with the Association of Mental Health Coordinators as we do our part to shift the standards of accessibility, health, and sustainability in the theater industry.
