For the first time ever in the history of the Patten Performances, Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors comes to life in the UTC Fine Arts Center as only the Acting Company and Guthrie Theatre can create it. Founded in 1972 by the legendary John Houseman and current Producing Artistic Director Margot Harley, along with the first graduating class of The Juilliard School's Drama Division, The Acting Company continues to develop classically trained American actors and a national audience for the theater.
Kevin Kline, Patti LuPone, Rainn Wilson, Jeffrey Wright, Frances Conroy, Harriet Harris, Jesse L. Martin, David Schramm, Henry Stram, Tom Hewitt, David Ogden Stiers and Hamish Linklater are just a few of the hundreds of actors whose careers began on tour with The Acting Company, which has performed 131 productions for millions of people in the United States, London, Australia, Russia and Eastern Europe. Over the years, The Acting Company has won numerous Obie, Audelco, Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Awards and a TONY.
The Acting Company continues to promote theater and literacy by bringing their touring repertory of classical productions, talented young actors and teaching artists into communities across America, performing each year in over 50 cities to audiences of 70,000 and reaching more than 25,000 students with its arts education programs.
Join us for this engaging performance of one of Shakespeare’s classic comedies at the UTC Fine Arts Center!
