One of our primary goals here at Santa Cruz Shakespeare is to introduce Shakespeare to every student we can possibly reach before they graduate from high school. Often this means that we have to bring the theatre to the student, instead of the other way around.

In 2025 we embarked on O Brave New World — Shakespeare and Theatre for Students; an ambitious project in which we strive to bring theatre to schools from Santa Rosa to Hollister, Oakland to Watsonville, and everywhere else we can reach. While we ask each school to support this project financially to the best of their abilities, school funds cannot fully offset our costs, and we will never deny a visit to a school that cannot offer payment.

This is where you come in. 

Help us in making theatre and Shakespeare available to every student. Support this worthy endeavor with a donation to the Santa Cruz Shakespeare Education Campaign: O Brave New World!
