What We Need & What You Get:

Our process is very intense. Simply put, we put on a full-length Shakespeare production in only a week. We work from early morning to late into the night every day, striving to bring the most daring and artistic choices out of the piece. And in-between all that, we build costumes, design sets, choreograph fights and dances, and try to get the word out. As you can imagine, it's a lot of work that requires a lot of resources.

Your donation will support all of this: props, sets, costumes, advertising, and any other unexpected expenses; as well as keeping the actors housed, fed, and well-caffeinated.

The process may be incredibly intense, but the comradery it builds - not just between the actors, but also with the community - has always been worth it and keeps us coming back year after year, and we couldn't do it without YOU!

Other Ways You Can Help!

If you emotionally support our effort but can't contribute financially, never fear! Simply spreading the word is an INCREDIBLE help. Tell your friends, your family, your co-workers, your neighbors, your pets, your dentist… anyone! Even a little can go a long way, and we deeply appreciate any form of assistance you can provide.

But most importantly... come see the show!
