Support The Lanes Coven Theater Co. Shakespeare Educational Fund
The Shakespeare Educational Fund brings the power of live Shakespeare performance directly to schools each year.
Lanes Coven Theater Co. tours one 90-minute cut of a Shakespeare play to local schools in the spring, performing dynamic, easy-to-understand Shakespeare productions that spark curiosity, excitement, and a connection to Shakespeare’s plays.
Performances are paired with talkbacks and interactive in-class workshops that invite students to ask questions, explore the language, and discover that Shakespeare’s stories still speak to their own lives.
Your support removes financial barriers that often keep schools—especially under-resourced ones—from experiencing live theatre by helping cover performance costs. This ensures that students don’t just read Shakespeare, but see it and feel it come alive.
By contributing to the Shakespeare Educational Fund you will ensure a performance at O'Maley Middle School each year. Remaining funds will go towards other schools, libraries, and community spaces that are in need of financial aid.
Please donate and help share the stories, the beauty, the humanity, and the majesty of Shakespeare's work with the next generation!
