Parking, Greeting, and Ushering for Shows

Save to Favorites

Door Shakespeare is a nonprofit professional theatre company performing the works of William Shakespeare and other classical and contemporary playwrights in the Garden of Björklunden’s 405-acre estate in Baileys Harbor. The 2022 season runs June 22 through August 27, and features William Shakespeare's The Tempest and The Three Musketeers: An Adventure With Music by Joe Pine, with music and lyrics by Scott McKenna Campbell.

There is much more that goes on at the theater than what is seen on stage!

Weekday performances start at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday performances start at 5:00 p.m. When volunteering, you do not have to volunteer for every single day. There are a certain number of positions to fill each day throughout the summer.

If interested, please contact Charrey or Theresa at Door Shakespeare, by emailing info@doorshakespeare.com, or calling the Door Shakespeare office at (920) 854-7111.

While trying to gather everyone together, the duke's daughter falls for a prince who had gotten lost in the crash, an islander, half fish, half man, seeks a new master to serve, and a spirit who had been saved by the duke long ago, plays tricks on those from the shipwreck while on a mission to bring them together.
