The Count of Monte Cristo

While in quarantine for COVID, Six Elements Theatre Company created a project to support actors and artists while live performance spaces were closed. That project was a web series adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo. In the fall of 2021, armed with an amazing cast and crew, greenscreen, studio space, lights, and a camera, we began filming.

In January 2022 we completed principal photography for our Count of Monte Cristo web series. The pandemic's twists and turns forced us to adapt multiple times over. However, thanks to the dedication of our cast and crew, and a generous grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, we were able to keep our cast and crew safe and give over 40 artists an opportunity to do some work during a time when the performing arts were unprecedentedly shuttered. Now in January 2023, it's here! We will be releasing episodes (of approximately 5 chapters each) once a month for a year. Patrons of our Patreon will receive early release access to episodes.
