Stolen Shakespeare Guild is dedicated to uniting and enriching our community through the preservation and celebration of classic theater.
We provide honest and accessible professional productions for our community. We value the highest artistic quality by nurturing local talent, cultivating a loyal audience and an enthusiastic support network. Because we believe classic theater is still relevant to modern audiences, we strive to present plays in a clear, engaging way. In order to create a long-lasting legacy, we are committed to financial sustainability. We value an enriching, educational, and entertaining, shared theatrical experience.
Stolen Shakespeare Guild (SSG) was launched 19 years ago as Jason Morgan’s Master’s Thesis Project at Texas Woman’s University and over the years has grown to be an essential voice in Fort Worth theater. Our core values are rooted in creating a truly enriching, educational, and entertaining shared theatrical experience at a price point that makes it accessible to all. Classic theater endures because it taps into shared human experience, emphasizing the fundamental aspects of our nature, and at SSG, we strive for everyone to see themselves reflected in these stories regardless of their age, race, or background.
Stolen Shakespeare Guild is the only theater company in Fort Worth that is dedicated to producing the classics. Most major cities that tout themselves as leaders in the arts have classical companies. The classics are the foundation upon which all great theater finds its inspiration, and it is vital for the cultural landscape of the city to keep this art form alive.
Help Us Keep Classical Theatre Thriving in Fort Worth 💜
Our recurring donors currently give $475 per month, and we have a new goal: to grow monthly giving to match our $3,578.68 monthly mortgage payment and help secure the future of our permanent theatre home.
Monthly gifts provide dependable, year-round support, while one-time donations are just as appreciated and make a meaningful difference. Every gift, no matter the amount, helps support Stolen Shakespeare Guild.
Why Monthly Giving Matters
If our monthly donors can cover the theatre’s mortgage, funds raised through ticket sales, grants, larger donations, concessions, and other sources can go even further toward our productions, programs, artists, and facility needs, including:
🎭 Supporting upcoming productions and operational needs while increasing our ability to pay our artists
🎟️ Keeping ticket prices affordable, helping make live classical theatre accessible to more people in our community
🎓 Continuing our Teen Shakespeare Summer Workshop, helping young performers develop their craft, confidence, and love of classical theatre
🔧 Completing critical repairs and improvements to our building and parking lot
Every donation—big or small, monthly or one-time, makes a real impact on the future of SSG. ✨
Your generosity helps keep classical theatre alive and thriving in Fort Worth while strengthening our permanent home and ensuring these stories continue to inspire our community for generations to come.
Stolen Shakespeare Guild is committed to creating a culture of inclusion that embraces each of our different and unique experiences and characteristics. We are committed to an equitable, diverse and inclusive workplace where individuals can thrive and succeed while growing professionally and personally.
