Program areas at Synetic Theater
Main Stage Produced three major productions in the 2019-20 season at the Arlington, VA theater that garnered critical acclaim: The Tempest, Snow Queen, and The Phantom of the Opera before having to cancel two productions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Synetic combines European and American theater contemporary techniques to instill new life into classic stories and to create innovative original works. Productions have distinctly ambitious auditory and visual style brought to life by an intensively-trained ensemble of actors; Synetic aims to choose work as diverse and varied as possible, highlighting the universality and contemporary relevance of these narratives. Synetic has been particularly celebrated for its wordless Shakespeare series. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Synetic released encore screenings of productions from our repertoire as well as produced a made-for-digital adaptation of The Decameron.
Training and Development The Theaters acclaim is mostly attributable to the singular ensemble of actor-creators it has trained and developed over the last 20 years. Each season, the Theater auditions and welcomes new actors to join its Body of Mind Studio and a select few are promoted are cast in productions and eventually promoted to the company. The Theaters company members now live around the world, spreading the unique Synetic style to other organizations and mediums.
