Nathaniel Hawthorne’s
THE SCARLET LETTER
directed by Clay Hopper

This bold adaptation, which weaves Hawthorne’s original text together with movement and live music, seeks to eliminate any distance between 17th century Boston and today’s audiences.

Classic Repertory Company (CRC) is New Rep’s flagship educational outreach program, bringing theatrical experiences to schools, senior centers, universities, summer camps, and presenting organizations throughout New England. CRC produces streamlined, inventive, original 90-minute adaptations of Shakespeare and classic novels. We seek not only to entertain, but to create a space for critical thinking, risk-taking, conversation, and shared experience. Every performance is accompanied by comprehensive study guides, a pre-show introduction, and a post-show discussion with the actors. We also offer workshops that may be booked alongside the performance, or as a stand-alone experience!
