Luis Negron (Duke Senior, Duke Frederick) is happy to join Merely Players for our initial production of As You Like It, having just finished played Banquo in the It’s a Fiasco production of Macbeth.  Other productions with It’s a Fiasco include Pericles (Simonides, Leonine, Hellicanus), A Midsummer’s Night Dream (Egeus, Peaseblossom) and Much Ado About Nothing (Antonio).  Luis has also performed with well known Boston companies such as the Huntington, Wheelock Family Theatre, Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater, New Rep, Merrimack Rep, Wellesley Summer Theatre, Brandeis, Zeitgeist Stage, Lyric Stage and SpeakEasy Stage.


Merely Players is a passion project- a tribe of actors who are producing our own work so that we have the time and freedom to take our "play" seriously, working deeply with trust, honesty, and joy. 

Founder Jen Alison Lewis spent January 2015 in training at Shakespeare and Company, an experience of intense collaboration and truthfulness.   As You Like It  is her effort to continue that complexity and clarity of work. Focused on channeling universal truths through an open body and voice, our rehearsal process will incorporate some techniques of Shakespeare & Company to challenge the actors within our supportive ensemble. 

Merely Players branched off from it's a Fiasco, which is in its fourth year performing in the same parks. We appreciate their collaboration and share some cast members with their June production of Macbeth.


​Some of us (*) are members of Actors' Equity Association, the stage union, which allows us to produce under the Members' Project Code.
