Shakespeare in the Woods

Shakespeare in the Woods (SitW) is a radical outdoor Southern VT theatre company founded in 2019 and is hosted by the Northshire Civic Center - Riley Rink at Hunter Park.

Now entering its third season of bold & innovative theatre, each production seeks to deliver a professional caliber celebration of classical text through an unconventional, modern, and socially aware lens, all while embracing Vermont’s natural offerings. The intention behind every production is to meet the natural landscape with respect, and to mindfully work in collaboration with nature versus imposing upon it.  

​

The core of Shakespeare in the Woods’ mission is: To provide exceptional quality theatre that celebrates the text through exploration of relevant social issues and themes; To make art that is accessible to all audiences regardless of socioeconomic or geographical standing; To engage younger generations of Vermonters through educational outreach that demonstrates the potential for growing the performing arts community right at home in Southern VT.

SitW is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. To visit our project page through Fractured Atlas, please click here.
