A Taste of Shakespeare is an educational and outreach program of the Longmont Theatre Company.
We deliver Shakespearian theater, in free performances, at locations up and down the Front Range. We perform complete shows, as well as skits, songs, stage fighting, and other creative acts.
We hope that while you are enjoying our presentations of the best of classical theatre, you will also give thought to participating in our tradition, whether as patron, performer, designer, or volunteer.
Our Mission
"A Taste of Shakespeare" shall, as its primary mission, study and perform the works of William Shakespeare, free of charge, for purposes of educational outreach. We do so on behalf of and at the behest of Longmont Theatre Company, and for the cultural betterment of our entire community. Members of "A Taste of Shakespeare" are members of Longmont Theatre Company, by association and by direct involvement.
We shall endeavor to cultivate and encourage talented individuals to join the company through: the rehearsal and performance of full-length shows; rehearsal and observation of scene work; and through regularly-scheduled workshops.
In so doing, we will create performance and other educational opportunities for theatre artists at all levels of experience. This in turn will foster and expand our artists’ abilities by challenging them to grow in a safe artistic environment.
"A Taste of Shakespeare" workshops shall be free of charge and open to any who wish to attend. Workshops will cover a wide range of theatrical topics, but will focus primarily on the performance of, the enjoyment of, and the continuing relevance of William Shakespeare's body of work. The works of other authors in the public domain may in future be considered for similar performance and educational opportunities.
