“There is something about words. In expert hands, manipulated deftly, they take you prisoner. Wind themselves around your limbs like spider silk, and when you are so enthralled you cannot move, they pierce your skin, enter your blood, numb your thoughts. Inside you they work their magic.” ...Diane Setterfield


Shakespeare was an expert at manipulating words to capture the imagination.   If he couldn't find a word...he made one up.  The perfect word. Many words used today can be directly credited to the Bard...

Auspicious * Gentlefolk * Shooting-star * Time-honoured * Transcendence
Trippingly * Zany


and so many more...check here for the other 415 words credited to Shakespeare.

​HOW FAR THAT LITTLE CANDLE THROWS HIS BEAMS

​Thanks to you, our donors, our patrons, and our volunteers, Perchance Theatre at Cupids celebrated its 10th season in the beautiful community of Cupids, welcoming over 2000 people into our theatre.

We, truly, could not do what we do without your support.  Your impact is real.

As many of you know, the arts are not-for-profit and, as such, the costs of production (months of preparation, weeks of rehearsals, loads of materials, and the many folks working behind the scenes) could never be made affordable to our audiences without the support of grants and donations. 

For those of you who lend your support, we thank you!
2020 Vision - to read all of Shakespeare's plays in one year!

Perchance is joining the call!

It's still winter. Despite what the groundhog says, spring hasn't yet sprung. The time has come to begin Shakespeare's tragedies. We begin with the gritty Titus Andronicus. Warning: this is not for the faint of heart.


Titus Andronicus Video Introduction: Ayanna Thompson offers a great  introduction to Titus. 

"I'd end with "happy reading," but this one isn't so happy."
