Annual Fund

Join Us!

Marin Shakespeare Company is one of the North Bay’s leading performing arts organizations. As you venture into the rustic but welcoming Forest Meadows Amphitheatre, we hope you experience the thrill of anticipation, the excitement of knowing you will hear and see something extraordinary.

Education/outreach programs continue year-round. Each year, over 1,000 students participate in a Shakespeare or drama class in their school or through one of our summer camps or year-round classes. Over 3,000 students see a Shakespeare performance at Forest Meadows or by our Teen Touring Company. Free summer Shakespeare camps benefit underserved youth from Marin City and the Canal neighborhood.

We need your help to ensure these high quality programs will continue to thrive in the year to come. Ticket sales and tuitions cover only half of our annual budget. Your support is vital.

Please make as generous a tax-deductible donation as you can. Then give yourself a hand for helping us make treasured Shakespearean performances and valuable education programs available to the entire community. We applaud you.
