Our Mission
Willamette Shakespeare's mission is to produce and perform quality classical theatre, free of charge, for the purpose of education, enrichment, and entertainment to residents of and visitors to Oregon's Willamette Valley. Our shows tour multiple communities in our region, creating a family-friendly environment, and aiming to reach a broad audience of both seasoned fans of theatre and newcomers. While Willamette Shakespeare does not restrict itself to a particular genre or style of production, the company strives to create theatre that is accessible to contemporary audiences while honoring the rich history of classical theatre performance.
