We produce and present award-winning plays and events that awaken and inspire.
Under the stars at Dominican University’s Forest Meadows Amphitheatre, or in our new Center for Performing Arts, Education, and Social Justice at 514 Fourth Street in Downtown San Rafael, we move people – to laughter and tears, to celebrate and protest – through stunning artistic performance of the wisdom, wit, and insight of Shakespeare and other playwrights. We employ multicultural, multi-talented casts, including actors who have survived incarceration.
