About Shakespeare in the Swamp

Shakespeare in the Swamp is a community theatre group that performs Shakespeare's plays in the open air. Our season consists of two show a year, one in April and one in October, when the weather is the perfect in beautiful Gainesville, Florida!

All of our shows in Gainesville's parks are free to attend and we invite you to bring blankets, pillows and chairs to enjoy the show! We rely solely on the gracious donations of the theatre loving citizens of the community to continue running!

2011 is our very first season and we look forward to putting together a wonderful community troupe that will continue to be an active group in and around Alachua County for many years to come!

We are currently looking for Board Members to help out and be a part of the founding of the troupe. If you are interested in helping out as a Board Me1mber or helping out in any other way, please get in contact with us today!

At present, we are gathering donations and supplies (if you wish to donate online, you can do so through the donation link at the right) as well as searching for a few places that have the perfect performance space (acting area, large clean yard for lounging and watching the show, ample parking, facilities, etc.). If you are interested in helping out at all please contact us today!
