Lauren York & Fam for Shakespeare Dallas

Shakespeare Dallas is easy to love, and it loves you back. Pure East Dallas, pay-what-you-can, let me get you a free ticket, I'm so glad you're here, sit-by-me community.  

This year I'm most proud of Shakespeare Dallas for launching Shakespeare Lab, a new studio and stage intensive for high school and community college students. I loved having a front-row seat to the mentorship that these students received from some of my favorite professionals (did I mention the capstone production was directed by the incomparable Mason York?) and cannot wait to see this program grow the next generation of Dallas artists.    

Whether you pitch in a dollar or a hundred (or a thousand!), you're helping make a place where people get to be together, regardless of who they are, where they come from, or whether they can afford a ticket or an acting class. 

In loving memory of Adrian Churchill, who never hesitated to make you feel like you belonged at the Park and in the world.
