Goal
Summit Players Theatre has been committed to producing high-quality, accessible, free Shakespeare across Wisconsin for going on nine total years. Originally a small project created by recent college graduates, we're now a fully-fledged non-profit theatre company that has served more than 11,000 people on our travels. Our mission is simple: share empowering theatre experiences with children and communities throughout Wisconsin, regardless of income or background.
Our 2023 season continues our commitment to serving the greatest number of communities across the state of Wisconsin. We will return to 22 Wisconsin state parks for 23 programs in 2023 with MACBETH and an accompanying workshop. Our promise remains the same: education, fun and community togetherness in as many parts of the state as we can reach.
Three witches visit brave warrior Macbeth with a vision of the future: he will be crowned king of Scotland. Determined to do whatever it takes to make this prophecy come true, he embarks on a ruthless quest for power. A web of secrets, trickery and danger entangles Macbeth, his wife Lady Macbeth, his rival Macduff and countless others as he claws his way to the top. Six actors play all the parts in this spooky, free, all-ages play.
We are committed to keeping the tour accessible to families regardless of income or where they live. That's why seeing a Summit show or playing at a workshop is always free, even though it costs us money to make it happen. Your contribution means covering the cost of bringing free Shakespeare to your area, and by donating more, you can ensure quality education and theatrical fun reach even more people across the state.
Donations to the Summit Players allow you to "pay it forward" for others who may not be able to otherwise afford theatre experiences and support the work of talented actors and artists who make our tours possible. To put it simply, we can't do it without you.
