Bard for Life
In these weekly evening workshops, you’ll join other adults who dream of bringing Shakespeare’s words to life—no experience necessary! Explore Shakespeare’s plays, guided by professional actors, and delight in the discoveries made by you and your playfellows. For adults 19+.
Bard for Life is generously sponsored by Dr. Marshall Dahl

Bard Access Fund
Bard Access Fund Information
Established by the Bard Volunteers in 2009, the Access Fund eliminates barriers to participating in Bard programming. Individuals, schools, and community organizations can apply for subsidized access to our Education programs and Festival events. The Fund also creates opportunities for more access by underwriting partnerships and initiatives to address community need.
