Chesapeake Shakespeare Company

The chesapeake shakespeare company provides many entry points to the works of william shakespeare by offering a wide variety of educational activities including camps and classes for youth and adults, a black classical acting ensemble, and outreach to the community at large. We also provide school matinee performances, in-school residences, and pre-show discussions. These program activites serve approximately 16,000 individuals including 3,700 youth from under-resourced schools served for free.

Chesapeake shakespeare companys new multi-year initiative, shakespeare beyond, will bring traveling arts and cultural programming into neighborhoods across baltimore and maryland in the form of free theatre performances, workshops, and collaborations with local artists and community organizations - with special emphasis on reaching those with limited access to the arts.
