Mission Statement
The mission of Shakespeare & Company is to deliver a sustainable, integrated, and vital program of Performance, Training, and Education for the audience, the artist, the Company, and the community. We embrace the classical ideals and visceral experience of Shakespeare’s work: collaboration, commitment to language, physical prowess and the embodied voice.
Description
Shakespeare & Company, a highly-respected theater company in Lenox, MA in the heart of the Berkshires, seeks volunteers during its May-October season. Opportunities include ushering, gift shop sales, company events, gardening, baking, marketing support, and our Oral History/Archiving project. Volunteers earn vouchers for free tickets to company performances and work alongside a terrific group of people. Shakespeare & Company presents a combination of classical and contemporary plays on four stages, with performances running Tuesday - Sunday, both matinees and evenings. Our corps of volunteers make up a self-managed group called Shakespeare & Volunteer Company, with a leadership team made up of volunteers working closely and in concert with theater company staff. Each volunteer job has its own Volunteer Leader who oversees his/her group. This is an ideal opportunity for people who live in the Berkshires full-time, on a seasonal basis, or for just an extended period. Come join us!
