“Built in 1997, the city-owned $31.6 million facility has been largely dormant, with the exception of pop-up retail ventures, since last June when the Rep announced it was filing for bankruptcy after 34 years.

“After decades of stability and growth, Shakespeare & Company has — in the last seven months alone — exiled an artistic director and lost an executive director before his first season was produced, actions followed in short order by the resignation of its top trustee. The word ‘interim’ now litters the company’s artistic and administrative flowchart, and the theater’s founder, Tina Packer, seems as befuddled as anyone.”
