SPONSOR THE WHOLE TROUPE.
THE SHAKESPEARE CHALLENGE is Shakespeare in Action’s largest fundraising event. Our goal is to raise money for a subsidized ticket program. This program will enable young people from Toronto’s priority neighbourhoods to see exceptional professional theatre free of charge.
SHAKESPEARE IN ACTION has recruited nine community members to give both their time and talent to take the challenge. Under the direction of Michael Kelly and Adam Seybold, our fearless champions will perform A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM for one night only at The Arts and Letters Club of Toronto. The event will also feature a silent auction and musical entertainment.

In the words of Shakespeare, “Action is eloquence.” The greatest eloquence is your action now.
THE SHAKESPEARE CHALLENGE raises funds to bring Toronto youth in priority neighbourhoods to see live performances of Shakespeare’s plays. In this way, Shakespeare in Action hopes to foster literacy, enhance creativity and promote the speech arts in neighbourhoods where it matters most.
Shakespeare: the stories, the characters, the language, and the poetry are so wonderfully relevant for today’s youth; making professional performances accessible can inspire young people to reach beyond the limits of their environment.
