Freehold will tour Shakespeare's Pericles, directed by Robin Lynn Smith, to unique locations across the greater Puget Sound area, June 24 – July 3, 2011. Realizing the power of theatre to bring about an extraordinary communion between audience and performer is at the core of Freehold's mission and at the heart of our annual Engaged Theatre tour. Since 2003, Freehold’s Engaged Theatre has toured Shakespeare productions to communities with little or no access to live theatre. This year the tour will perform for the general public as well as for a number of underserved populations including Echo Glen Children’s Center, a juvenile detention center. The tour begins with performances in Seattle for the general public.
The production will include live musical accompaniment with a score composed by Gino Yevdjevich of Kultur Shock, set design by Roberta Russell, and choreography by Jessica Jobaris. Cast across gender and race lines, reflecting the diversity of our audiences, this ensemble will bring this story simply and vividly to life.
Freehold and the artists of Engaged Theatre return eagerly year after year to this work for the creative inspiration it confers on all of us as well as for the opportunity to experience and share in the power and “communion” that occurs between our performers and enthusiastic audience members.
Robin Lynn Smith, Artistic Director of Freehold has directed in Seattle at Seattle Repertory Theatre, ACT, On the Boards, The Empty Space, New City Theatre, Seattle Children’s Theatre, and Intiman.

Falls Sustained Achievement Award, and was recently honored by SDC, as a finalist for the 2010 Fichandler award.
