Thespihonest Theatre Company
What is Thespihonest?
Founded in 2016, Thespihonest Theatre company exists to uplift, showcase, and inspire people who don't fit the stereotypical idea of classical theatre.
We bend the words of our beloved Bard to fit into the modern, ever-changing world. We strive to create a haven for artists from all walks of life to study, develop, learn, and explore the world of classical theatre in a safe and loving place.

MACBETH
The end of the war, raging sexism, and smooth jazz are all jumbled together in this gender-bent production of William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew.
Romeo and Juliet
Star-crossed lovers, the LGBTQ+ community, feuding families, and Beyoncé collide in Thespihonest's modern, slightly gender-bent retelling of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
"Sit by my side and let the world slip, we shall ne'er be younger" - Taming of the Shrew
