You and the American Shakespeare Center—
Invest in Imagination

“And that, I hope, will teach you to imagine.” – Hamlet IV.vii

Each year, the American Shakespeare Center asks you to Invest in Imagination. In return, we open our doors to you and your imagination fifty-two weeks a year. We perform titles both familiar and rare, provide enriching programs for visitors of all ages, and invite all our patrons to imagine with us. When you contribute to our annual fund, you invest in more than great entertainment.

Your contribution supports

• fun, interactive programming that inspires and educates summer campers ages nine to ninety-nine.
• world-class, touring Shakespeare productions that inspire people in small towns across the country. 
• live Shakespeare presented to high school students who are inspired to realize that his characters reflect their own lives.
• seminars and study guides that inspire teachers to bring Shakespeare’s wordcraft and stagecraft to life in their classrooms.
• resources that inspire college students to fold Shakespeare’s ideas and language into their scholastic and professional lives.
• intelligent, passionate, exceptional theatre focused on inspiring an intimate community participating in and becoming part of the world of the play. 

When you Invest in Imagination, you inspire actors, writers, students, teachers, scholars, and fellow patrons of the arts. Through your donations, you turn imagination into inspiration for us all.

Help transform today’s vision into tomorrow’s reality with a contribution.

Imagine what we can inspire, together.

When I visited the Blackfriars Playhouse, I was instantly captivated by its atmosphere and by the amazing work that goes on there. It is a center of excellence and should be protected and cherished. -- Dame Judi Dench
