The Cromulent Shakespeare Company breathes new life into classical plays with a creative and ensemble based approach. Since 1996, we have dedicated our company to "Embiggen the Bard", and in 2000 added new works and original adaptations to our performance repertoire. Cromulent performed Romeo & Juliet and Hamlet in 2004 and an extremely well-received King Lear in 2005. It is our pleasure to present another of Shakespeare's great tragedies, Titus Andronicus, as we enter the year that would celebrate the 444th birthday of the Bard of Avon, William Shakespeare.
