Now Playing

Who is Ernest?! This play interrogates that very question! In a rain soaked, grime caked, low down fictional city in a nondescript time in the 40s, Jack Worthing is living a double life and everyone’s on his trail. Unravel the mystery, laugh at the romance, and find out how important it really is to be Earnest.

The Guy Who Didn't like Musicals

A Starkid! Musical done in a week! In the tiny town of Hatchetfield lived an awful Grinch named Paul and he hated musicals. His worst nightmare comes true, as the town is overtaken by a musical hivemind.

As You Like It

A classic done classically! This production explored the internal struggle between hiding yourself behind a mask in an industrial world or letting yourself be seen for who you are in a natural one.

Mission

Many of the people who work with Modern Archaic are, in some way, closely tied to education, so we have seen the intense decline in literacy and a dying understanding of classical history, the very stories that have defined and guided our understanding of our own humanity. If you are passionate about ensuring our history continues to be told to the people that need to hear it most, please consider supporting Modern Archaic today.
