About the Artist

REV brings our fresh, contemporary vision to existing dramatic works and company created musical pieces. We present our work in unique, site-specific venues: the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum, parking lots in Philadelphia and New York, a Hudson River Pier, NYC’s Lower East Side storefronts, the grounds of a Cape May Victorian mansion, historic, iconic Philadelphia cemeteries, a South Philly nightclub, a Scranton former Masonic temple and dozens of parks throughout New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut.

REV’s Shakespeare productions (Hamlet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Comedy of Errors, Othello) and original Philadelphia Fringe musical pieces (The Graveyard Cabaret, REV’s 1940s Canteen, REV’s Vaudeville, REV’s Lil’ Ol’ Rodeo Show) have all been critically acclaimed and have reached well over twenty five thousand people. Last year we created With Love From America: A Honky Tonk Benefit for Ukraine to support Save Ukraine at Ulana’s in South Philly. We take our work to veterans, nursing homes, and shelters. Teen Shakespeare and original children’s productions, educational outreach and senior programs are also an essential and extensive part of REV’s mission. Next will be REV’s immersive, site-specific production of Kander & Ebb’s Cabaret in the spring of 2027 at Ulana’s South Philly nightclub.

What (else) the critics say about REV -

No other company is capable of reinventing Shakespeare like REV.” Stamford Advocate “Take a look at what really talented theater people can do”. Philadelphia CityPaper "Delicious" Village Voice “Spellbinding. Everything an adaptation should be-significant, exhilarating and imaginative”. Philadelphia Weekly
