Sock & Buskin

S&B_generic.jpg

Sock and Buskin is our final festival of each season. We challenge a small group of actors to present both a dramatic piece and a comic piece side-by-side. Performed in a more casual space, often a pub environment, the unique format of Sock and Buskin makes for a very engaging night of theatre for the patrons and an exciting experience for the actors.

Named for the two ancient symbols of comedy and tragedy. In Greek theatre, actors in tragic roles wore a boot called a buskin that elevated them above the other actors. The actors with comedic roles only wore a thin-soled shoe called a sock.
