Adventure shAKespeare Website

A new professional theatre company based out of Anchorage, AK, doing theatre in the Alaskan wilderness.

About

We are a group of artists passionate about the great outdoors of Alaska and the transformative power of theatre, with a particular love for making Shakespeare accessible to a wide range of audiences. We seek to bring theatre to adventurous locations in Alaska to celebrate both art and nature, collaborating with Alaskan performers as well as a few from the lower 48!

We love...

We love to explore

All of our creative team members are avid hikers, climbers, and adventurers. We love the great Alaskan outdoors and want to explore and preserve it for as long as possible.

We love to perform

All of our creative team members are artists and performers. Acting, singing, and telling stories is something we are all trained to do well and excited to share!

We love to connect

All of our creative members love community and togetherness, especially with the folks we have had the privilege of connecting with throughout Alaska!
