In 2004-05, The Turn of the Screw was joined in touring repertory by Shakespeare’s The Two Gentlemen of Verona. In 2003, Murder by Poe continued The Acting Company’s series of commissioning, developing and producing new plays based on great American literature.

(2000-01), Mark Twain’s Pudd’nhead Wilson (2001-02) and Stud's Terkel's American  Dreams: Lost and Found (2002-03), Murder by Poe brought to the stage the work of one of our country's most well-known and widely read writers. In 2005-06, we presented The Lottery by Shirley Jackson for student audiences nationwide. Our commissioned adaptation of Carson McCullers' The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter played 5 weeks in Atlanta prior to a tour southern cities.
