Chesapeake Shakespeare Company

Mission:  

The Chesapeake Shakespeare Company creates performances and education programs out of great classic theatre.  Classic plays can be awfully good, but only if they speak to their audience and the community in a way that is dynamic, personal, and pleasurable.  We do plays that people like, and we perform them in innovative and intimate ways that intensify the connection between audiences and artists.  We do this because we want to know what makes Shakespeare so great—and we ask our audience and our community to explore that question alongside us.
