The professional
theatre company in residence at Oglethorpe University, Georgia
Shakespeare is one of two LORT (League of Regional Theatres)
companies operating in the state of Georgia.
Dedicated to the production of the
works of William Shakespeare and other enduring authors, Georgia
Shakespeare annually mounts a full summer repertory season of three professional
productions as well as an annual series of fall productions. With an
over 20-year history and one of the largest audience
bases of any theatre in the southeast, Georgia Shakespeare
enjoys a national notoriety that is both commercial and
critical. Recent
hits include The Merry Wives of Windsor, Two Gentlemen
of Verona, Julius Caesar, and Arthur Miller’s modern
classic, Death of a Salesman. Georgia Shakespeare's relationship
with Oglethorpe University's theatre program fosters many opportunities for
student involvement. Oglethorpe students have performed on stage
with Georgia Shakespeare's professional acting company in all of the shows
listed above, as well as served as technical, directing, and public
relations interns, and house management and box office staff. Georgia Shakespeare provides an outstanding opportunity for our students to gain experience
and connections in the world of professional theatre.
