Southern Shakespeare Company

The Southern Shakespeare Company (SSC), a professional, non-profit theatre company with a year-round education mission, seeks to make Shakespeare fun and accessible to a diverse audience, cultivate an appreciation of the arts, train theatre artists, and bring free Shakespeare to Cascades Park every spring.

As part of our year-round education mission, SSC offers in-school workshops led by our educators, as well as performances and supplemental educational content, worksheets and digital/online programming.

SSC’s Shakespeare Man visits local schools for fun and interactive lessons that are a great way for students to learn about Shakespeare’s life and works.

The Bardlings are SSC’s junior performance troupe. This acting program offers theatrical training to middle and high school students of all backgrounds.

Additional events and programs offered by the Southern Shakespeare Company include original touring productions, workshop series, Sonnet Man residencies, and summer camp programs.
