The Company Repertory Theatre

Since its founding in 1994 by Actors Mary Joris, Pamela Captain, Dick King, and the late Richard Folmer, the Company has made its presence known throughout Bossier and Caddo Parishes as well as many states throughout the country. Here at home, thanks to a Decentralized Arts Fund Grant from the State of Louisiana, we have taken Shakespeare into middle and high schools, performing and coaching students in a twenty minute version of the Shakespeare play monologue they have been studying.

Thanks to the grant, we formed the touring group "Theatre Eclectic." Characters from history travel to middle and high schools as well as to assisted living centers, Councils on Aging, and various civic organizations to present a 20 - 30 minute historical sketch of the person. The actors research, write and costume each character and reveal interesting and little known facts about each. Captain Henry Miller Shreve, Marie LaVeau, Ma Rainey, Harriet Tubman, Winston Churchill, Benjamin Franklin, Maria Von Trapp, Marilyn Monroe, and C.S Lewis are among the characters presented.

"Senior Stars" was formed to highlight 50+ year-old actors performing short, comedic plays on a wide range of topics. Recently, working with the Shreveport Little Theatre, we have expanded the program to venues outside Bossier Parish, as well.
