"I’m off to one of my favorite theater companies: Retro Productions, which unearths plays from the distant past and mounts them in the cozy confines of the Spoon Theatre." - Filichia, theatremania.com

"Retro Productions is a force of nature, with such strength it blew me away...  Truth, honesty, and great chops, it's everything that is great about American theatre." - Heather McAllister, nytheatre.com 

"The company is held together with grit and twine and loads of talent and is a perfect recession buster: the tickets are 18 bucks with five dollar student rush at the door and the  play and the small company that mounted it stand to remind us that tough times come and it is through looking not hiding that we will move forward. " - Wickham Boyle, theaterscene.net

"If you haven’t seen a show by Retro Productions, this is the perfect time... one of the smartest and most articulate production companies making theater at the Off-Off level. More than that, if you really want smart established scripts, and you’re accustomed to really high production values, then you NEED to start seeing Retro’s shows. This is where that is happening." - Sean Williams, seanrants.com

     

Coming Soon:

Benefactors by Michael Frayn


Directed by Peter Zinn

Set designed by Jack and Rebecca Cunnigham
Costumes designed by Ben Philipp
Sound designed by Jeanne Travis

Set against the backdrop of the 1960s new housing projects in London, BENEFACTORS centers on an idealistic architect David and his wife Jane and their relationship with their cynical friend Colin and his wife Sheila. David is attempting to build new homes to replace the "twilight area" housing of Basuto Road and is gradually forced by the housing council into designing skyscrapers despite his aversion to them. Sheila becomes his secretary, but when Colin leaves her and their children to squat in Basuto Road and wage battle against the proposed project, it is unclear if Sheila is helping David and Jane or the other way around.
