First Folio Theatre was a not-for-profit theater company affiliated with the Actors' Equity Association. Founded in 1996, First Folio, originally named First Folio Shakespeare Festival, was located on the grounds of the Mayslake Peabody Estate in Oak Brook, Illinois, United States. First Folio utilized the "Folio Method" as developed by Patrick Tucker (at one time of the Royal Shakespeare Company), who first introduced his approach to American actors, directors and teachers in a series of workshops sponsored by the Riverside Shakespeare Company of New York City at The Shakespeare Center beginning in 1982, which led to an awakened interest in the First Folio.[1][2]
The Folio Method employs the text of William Shakespeare's First Folio to illuminate the textual clues for the actors and the audience.
First Folio Theatre was listed as a Major Festival in the book Shakespeare Festivals Around the World by Marcus D. Gregio (Editor), 2004.
After 25 years in operation, First Folio Theatre ceased operations with its last performance in February 2023, due to the retirement of its Founding Executive Director David Rice. https://firstfolio.org/26th-season-preview/
