actors co-op (an idea)

Hi. I'm wondering if there's anyone out there who can help me with this. How do you go about making an actors co-op? I've heard from lots of them in perth recently - I didn't know we have so many... Because here's my idea: I want to be a part of a co-op (later probably a company) that do classical plays (shakespeare, GBS, etc) as classical plays and not change them (eg: "Romeo, thou art a villain" to "Romeo, you're a wanker") but still make them be accepted commercially - a bit too idealistic, probably, but I grew up with those classical stuff so bare with me. Now, the thing is, I've got the experience as an actress but I'm not experienced enough in management and production to know even where to start if you want to build a co-op. Any suggestion? Help in any way? anything would be appreciated...

Thanks
Ami
