Linda McInerney's Mission Statement
Since 1986, Old Deerfield Productions has been carrying out the mission of creating, nurturing, producing, promoting and presenting high quality theatre arts that engage, nourish, challenge, heal and entertain audiences.
The core strength of Old Deerfield Productions lies in the care with which the work is chosen, the care with which it is created, and the care with which it is shared with an audience. This care is rooted in the length of time given to finding and studying appropriate material and also with the time and care taken in rehearsal and with performers. Integration, synthesis, and real collaboration make up the process which efficiently creates a holistic and satisfying product according to audience members.
An example is the creation of a new opera with Paula M. Kimper and Harley Erdman which tells the true story of the kidnapping of Eunice Williams in 1704 by the French and Mohawks and incorporates the Mohawk Condolence Ceremony and the contract of peaceful co-operation called the Two Row Wampum. The ensuing project, The Captivation of Eunice Williams was chosen to become the 2008 headline project for the Albanian National Theatre Company in collaboration with the Macedonian Philharmonic Orchestra to tour throughout the Balkans.
