History
The Rude Mechanicals were founded on July 25, 1999, and we’ve been exploring classical works for over 21 years since. In 2019, we partnered with the Greenbelt Arts Center as a resident theater troupe.
The Rudes have done all of the works of William Shakespeare but one: Cymbeline. Stay tuned as we work toward completing the canon!
Troupe meetings
The Rude Mechanicals hold troupe meetings approximately six times a year. All Rude Mechanicals are invited. We discuss the past show, the current show, and everything that affects the running of the troupe.
Anti-Harassment Policy
The Rude Mechanicals are committed to creating and maintaining a harassment-free space. Read The Rude Mechanicals Harassment Policy.
