Playhouse of American Classics (PAC)
Mission
Many of the plays of America’s award winning playwrights are rarely produced in today’s theatres because they demand a large number of sets, actors and costumes or because people fear they are dated. If theater is a reflection of life then these fine plays are a “living archive” of how America evolved. Plays by such famous authors as William Saroyan, Garson Kanin, Kaufman and Hart and Elmer Rice often sit on library shelves, unread and unseen because they are not produced.
The mission of Playhouse of American Classics is:
-
To get these great American plays produced for a new audience to see,
-
Make students aware of our rich legacy of American plays, and,
-
Excite them to further explore America’s past in order to better understand its present and point the way to its future.
