Beyond Shakespeare

At Del Shakes we love the Bard, but there are other creative voices that can also help us in exploring our shared humanity in similar ways that Shakespeare does – with poetry, imaginative theatricality, and mythic reach. As we listen to more voices, our ability to find and celebrate our connection is increased!

We’re excited to launch a new series – “Beyond Shakespeare.” Through this program, we’ll feature diverse creative voices in conversation with the stories and themes from the full productions in our 2022 season.

There is a long history of writers being inspired by Shakespeare to create their own works. We invite you to join in this cultural tradition via two avenues: play readings and poetry slams.
