2025 Season
The Spanish Tragedy
by Thomas Kyd
November 7 – 16, 2025
The Well Coffee House
2410 E Mishawaka Ave, South Bend
Don Andrea will see his revenge — from beyond the grave. Following his dishonorable demise in battle at the hands of Portugal’s Prince Balthazar, the ghost of the Spanish don and the spirit of Revenge witness the fallout of his death.
Take a seat beside them. Behold the murderous schemes in the corrupt court of an incompetent king, and the vengeance visited upon those who abuse their power.
The Spanish Tragedy, one of the first blockbusters of the English renaissance stage, defined the modern revenge tale. Now it’s coming right here to South Bend, Indiana. Join us this November at The Well Coffee House for the play that started it all, presented by AMP Theatre Company.
Directed by Allison Pajor.

Galatea by John Lyly
May 30 – June 8, 2025
602 E Mishawaka Ave, Mishawaka
“Would the gods had made me as I seem to be, or that I may safely be what I seem not!”
The gods demand a sacrifice. To avoid destruction, a village must surrender its most beautiful virgin to the god Neptune. The shepherd Tityrus, fearing for his daughter Galatea’s life, disguises her as a boy and sends her into the woods. But Tityrus isn’t the only villager to form this plan to hide his daughter from the gods: Melibeus sends his daughter Phillida to the woods as well, dressed as a boy.
In men’s clothing, Galatea and Phillida meet — and fall in love.
Dating from the 16th century, John Lyly’s Galatea brings us a striking tale where true love, in the face of a society’s constraints on gender and marriage, conquers all.
AMP Theatre Company is a volunteer-based community theatre producing Galatea in partnership with The Acting Ensemble.
Directed by Allison Pajor and Mark Pajor
