Six Elements Theatre
The Count of Monte Cristo Web Series Premiere

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.

The Count of Monte Cristo Web Series Premiere

Stage Combat

Welcome to Elfland

We are less than two weeks out from our 18th production. I am positively thrilled to direct an original adaptation of two classic English Folktales, penned by Steve Schroer of Hardcover Theatre: Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came (with a heavy influence from Robert Browning's eponymous poem from 1855) and a lesser known tale called "The Red Ettin".

“Childe Roland single-handedly brings our death-per-show average up to an impressive 4.1. ”

It's no secret that Six Elements productions are characterized with no small amount of theatrical violence. We're very proud to be the only company in the Twin Cities area with a resident fight director who is a Certified Teacher with the Society of American Fight Directors, our very own Mike Lubke. We crunched the numbers and determined that we have  averaged 3.3 character deaths per show. Childe Roland single-handedly brings our death-per-show average up to an impressive 4.1. (Discounting Human Combat Chess, our annual fight show, that average jumps to a formidable 6.1 deaths per show).

We hope to see you in the audience for one of our bloodiest shows yet, as we delve into the nature of morality, duty, heroes, and villains.
