Hi! We‘re New Place Players, a nonprofit theater co. based in NYC creating intimate Shakespeare productions in an interplay of acting, music & sound.

We just completed our first tour in September 2024 to Akron, Ohio for a limited run of our latest production, The Masque of Night, a Romeo & Juliet Cabaret, which was very successful! Before that we were in Hopewell NJ and Manhattan. Now, we've been invited to the Stonington Opera House in Maine, in Aug 2025!

Support us in our goal to raise 15,000$ to fund our production and touring.

Your generous donation would help us with...

Personnel

Salaries for actors, set designer and costume designer
Travel expenses – airfare & transportation from lodging to venue
Lodging

Production

Set pieces & props + additional costs to turn a black box theater into a living, theatrical environment
Costumes
Sound equipment rental
Harp rental

As we are committed to bringing Shakespeare to everyone, your donation also enables us to keep our tickets at reasonable prices and make Shakespeare accessible to everyone.

Please donate what you can as time is of the essence!

We are very excited to infuse the Rubber City Theater in Akron, Ohio with the lovers‘ timeless magic and immensely appreciate your support – every little bit counts!

With gratitude from the whole team at New Place Players🎭

"There are a million ways that Romeo & Juliet has been performed, but there is something so uniquely sweet and endearing about The Masque of Night, that sets it apart from the rest. With an earnest cast, pitch-perfect musical accompaniment, and distinctive setting, this one-hour production of Romeo & Juliet is a delicious bite-sized confection of romance and tragedy.”
