Summit Players Theatre

Hi, we're the Summit Players. We're a traveling, non-profit theatre company bringing free Shakespeare shows and workshops to the Wisconsin State Parks. Our shows are perfect for any age: family-friendly entertainment for the price of a park sticker. Join us for the full Shakespearience and find us soon in a park near you.

The Summit Players are a traveling, seven member theatre company who present short, accessible, free Shakespeare workshops and performances to audiences around the state of Wisconsin. Before each show, we teach a 45 minute workshop for kids (and fun adults) on Shakespearean text, general theatre practices, and how Shakespeare used nature in his plays. All the words in our shows belong to Shakespeare, there are just less of them. Summit Players Theatre shows are produced with new cuttings of Shakespeare's scripts that become tight, approximately 75 minute shows of mayhem, character switches, and hilarity.
