Review for Shakespeare & Company, Inc., Lenox, MA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Having grown up in the area around Shakespeare & Company, the Company has been a major part of my personal growth and experience. Beyond providing stellar performances to the community - local and beyond - Shakespeare & Company's educational outreach programs have had an enormous effect on the area's youth, myself included. Through programs like the Fall Festival of Shakespeare and Shakespeare & Young Company, Shakespeare & Company immerses local students in the beauty of Shakespeare's text and the thrill of performance. The most amazing thing about Shakespeare & Company is the way in which is strikes a balance between creating remarkable art and teaching others to create it as well.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

being a student educational outreach programs and an audience member for performances.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

learning about Shakespeare and seeing that knowledge performed on stage.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

directors and actors - all kind, giving, and enthusiastic about their work.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

broaden its horizons to provide education and performances around the country.

Ways to make it better...

it had gone on longer - but one can only be a student for so long!

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

financial.
