SHAKESPEARE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE THEATER, MONOLOGUES AND ENSEMBLE WORK, #BEYONDSHAKESPEARE AND MENTORING
Our annual city-wide high school cast is composed of a more than a dozen ethnicities – an authentic mirror of Buffalo.
Throughout the year, we have a carefully designed program that encourages ALL young people to build life skills and work collaboratively. No matter what level of skill, our theater program embraces all young people, uplifting the values of ensemble, creativity, healthy risk-taking and joy!

In April, auditions for our annual Shakespeare play occur and draw from BPS high-schools. After auditions, the rigorous and demanding rehearsal process begins.
Annually, we produce a full-length Shakespeare play, complete with modern revisions and twists that keep Shakespeare alive, full of grit and resilience … just like our teens.
