ABout us

​The Band of Brothers Shakespeare Company assembles to recreate Shakespeare's genius and influence, reminding both player and audience of the dignity in language and life. Bradford and Laura Gordon conceived BOB, and they remain activity dedicated to the magic conjured. The Company is dedicated to educational enrichment of both actor and community through production of classic theater in the Laurel Highlands Region. 

The Band of Brothers Shakespeare Company is a non-profit theater arts organization within the state of Pennsylvania.

Conceived in 1991 as the Stackhouse Park Players and rechristened in 2002 as the Band of Brothers Shakespeare Company, we have performed Shakespearean drama to the delight of more than 50,000 spectators in the Western Pennsylvania area.

Committed to community enrichment, we have raised more than $200,000 for Stackhouse Park, a 277 acre nature reserve in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

The Company is rapidly expanding, adding new venues and performances every year. In addition to the summer performances in the Park, we are expanding our venues to include intimate spaces, like the Bottleworks Ethnic Arts Center, and large, more traditional theaters, such as the Pasquerella Performing Arts Center and the soon to be remodeled Cochran Auditorium.

This organization exists due to the work of many hands. The Band of Brothers invite you to play a leading role. Actors have roles, but no less important are those played by hundreds of volunteers and thousands of spectators. We hope you will join us for another year of magic and many yet to come.

"We few. We happy few. We band of brothers."
William Shakespeare, Henry V (Act 4 Scene 3)
