Any free public performances needs people to greet and orient audience members. Shakespeare in Clark Park needs friendly people to say "HI & Welcome!", to hand out programs, help direct the audience to where they can spread out their blanket or open their lawn chair, to hold out a bucket to those audience members who wish to donate. Starting at 6:00 allows us to give our volunteers the information they need for a 7:00 performance. Curtain Call will be over by approximately 9:15, and volunteers will be done by approximately 9:30. Sign up for one night, sign up for them all! Sing up for 4 and we will gratefully give you a free 2016 t-shirt.

Mission Statement
Shakespeare in Clark Park is a theatre company committed to presenting free, outdoor productions of Shakespeare’s plays, creating a cultural event accessible to the Clark Park neighborhood and the greater Philadelphia area. While engaging the community and expanding Philadelphia’s summertime cultural scene, Shakespeare in Clark Park re-imagines the world of the park through the works of Shakespeare.
Description
Shakespeare in Clark Park was formed in the fall of 2005 by Marla Burkholder, Maria Möller, Tom Reing and Whitney Estrin. In our inaugural season, Shakespeare in Clark Park presented four performances of Twelfth Night, drawing an audience of over 2,000 people.
We've grown since that first summer. A single Saturday night performance in "the Bowl" can find over 1,000 people coming out with their picnics. Free Shakespeare in the vibrant green space of Clark Park has become a much-anticipated annual event in Philadelphia.
We hold a core value that public art is both important and necessary, and are committed to continuing to provide access to free and surprising performance in a community-based environment. We believe in the continuing value of presenting Shakespeare’s work to as wide as possible an audience, and that participating in this cultural tradition allows for an extraordinary level of self-recognition and personal fulfillment for audiences and artists alike.
