And the Duke's daughter fled from her wicked uncle to the forest in search of her father (dressed as a boy, of course)... And the young nobleman fled from his wicked brother to the forest... But not before he and the Duke's daughter met and fell in love at first sight. And...

The Mission of Butterfield 8 Theatre Company is to provide audiences a fresh take on classic plays, and foster the creation of new works.
Our Vision is to present audiences with examples of both ends of the theatrical spectrum: new productions of classic works, focusing in particular on text-driven plays (such as the works of Shakespeare), and new works devised by the company or written by local playwrights. Our work often examines perceptions of gender, both within the context of the play and the larger context of society as a whole. We strive to create an immersive environment, believing the audience’s experience starts when they buy the ticket, and shouldn't end when they leave the theatre. We honor that the audience has come for a live theatre experience to engage with a story or an idea; to be taken on a journey. This is our responsibility, and our craft.
