I've been going to shows at Seattle Shakes for approximately 12 years (!!) and have always been so floored by their creativity, vision, and accessibility. They want audiences to see Shakespeare, get Shakespeare, and find it as fun and engaging as it was when it was still performed by men wearing balloon pants and dresses. 

From raucously funny all male productions of Taming of the Shrew, to one of the most incredible heart-wrenching renditions of Hamlet I've ever seen (and still think about regularly); this company continues to live up to and exceed all of my expectations. Relying almost entirely on incredible directors, actors, and crew, Seattle Shakespeare brings these stories to life in uniquely human, profoundly relatable ways. But, of Course, they also rely on the kind support of their community. Without our presence, appreciation, and donations, their shows wouldn't be possible.

I'm honored to be a part of Seattle Shakespeare, and hope you all will continue to support the arts especially now, when we need community more than ever. 

Thank you for your aid and contributions, and I look forward to seeing you at the next show!
