We began working with Present Company in Summer 2013. The first design was a poster for A Midsummer Night’s Dream to be held on a farm in East Austin. Our designs began incorporating various elements like Grant Wood’s American Gothic, old book covers, East Austin culture and Shakespeare himself.

We are really inspired by this group. Their shows are incredible, the actors are hilarious, the setting is always inviting and they are a pleasure to work with!

 

 

Best New Look for an Old Play

Hamlet by Sarah Presson/Eye Like Design

Whether created by some talented amateur that a company’s lucky enough to have among its members, or by a longtime professional who’s generous enough to work a pro bono gig, the visual components promoting shows in this town are almost as important as the show itself. To wit: Sarah Presson’s stark, stunning design for Present Company’s performed-with-flashlights-in-the-dark production of Hamlet. While capturing the spirit of the Bard, Presson managed to avoid 400-plus years of visual cliches used to illustrate one of his most famous works. We suggest that no poster was so powerfully evocative in 2016.
