About Me

For a company as vibrant, enthusiastic, and whimsical as Makeshift Theatre Company, its humble beginning is rather unremarkable.
Andrew Rhodes, seated in the Beacon Hill Tavern on Charles Street late one night after waiting tables, had drawn up a plan for a company; a sort of thrown-together, make-shift company, but a company nonetheless. Its commitment was to affordable, high-quality theatre that would entertain and engage audiences of all ages and excite a new generation of theatre-goers.
In June of 2005, Andrew joined by graphic artist Shauna Fritsch, Larry Leggett, and an intern named Nero, formed TRiBE for CHiLDREN, a division of a larger artistic company in Boston at the time. In October, they opened their first season with Jack Neary's Robin Hood and by the spring of 2006, TRiBE for CHiLDREN had become the Makeshift Theatre Company, which continues to produce entertaining and engaging theatre for audiences of all ages to this very day.
We will post up coming shows and audition notices and crew and desing needs as they come up! Come on down and see a show we can have beers later!
