SHAKESPEARE EXCHANGE

New York Shakespeare Exchange was founded in 2009 by Artistic Director Ross Williams. From the beginning, the organization has been focused on reaching audiences in unexpected ways. As we grow, though, it has become clear that our greatest strength is the way in which our unique programming brings people together and inspires conversation. From the theatrical tightrope walked by playwright and performer Kevin Brewer in our inaugural production of his The One Man (Two Man (not quite)) Hamlet, to our most recent digitally-infused Much Ado About Nothing, our work has pushed boundaries and gotten people to talk to each other. With the addition of ShakesBEER and The Sonnet Project, we've expanded our community and increased the reach of these conversations... New York Shakespeare Exchange bridges cultural divides, starts conversations, promotes education, and brings communities together through diverse, classically-based programming that re-imagines how Shakespearean theater and poetry can..
