“We’ll take your offer kindly.”
— All’s Well That Ends Well
Henry V’s old chums Pistol, Bardolph, and Nym are looking to you for help in this time of rough weather with donations of supplies to Shakespeare & Company’s Costume and Production departments. If you’ve always wanted to show your support for Shakespeare & Company beyond your ticket purchase or cash donation, here’s your chance.
Many of these items can be found right in your home. Perhaps you don’t need them anymore, but we do, and you can help us in an immediately tangible way by sharing these items with us.
Please drop-off your donation at the Miller Building (the brick building on your left as you enter our campus), noting which department the donation is intended for, or you may contact us directly (see below) to arrange drop-off or pick-up.
Costume Shop: Please contact Govane Lohbauer, Costume Director, at 413-637-1199 ext. 376.
Production (Paint, Scenery, Stage Management, Sound, and Electrics Departments): Please contact Tom Rindge, Production Manager & Technical Director, at 413-637-1199 ext. 375.
Company Housing/Facilities: Please contact Phil Hiser, Director of Facilities, at 413-637-1199 ext. 182.
