We deliver bold and innovative Shakespearean performances and workshops for schools and community groups across Metro Denver. Live performances in and around a pick-up truck of Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Macbeth, right in your school or community center’s parking lot.
Shakespeare in the Parking Lot is exactly what it sounds like—an abridged performance of Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream or Macbeth. The performance takes place in and around our pick-up truck “set” that we drive to your school or community center parking lot.
School performances are followed by an in-class, interactive workshop led by cast members that helps students connect themes of the play to contemporary issues and the high school experience by moving students from being an audience into roles of active engagement. Request your booking below. Scholarships available.
