    To clarify. Our annual budget in recent years, including in kind donations, is nearly twice the fee mentioned.

    Our education work is year round and includes our Winter Shakespeare production in The Troutt.

    To be more accurate, the budget for Shakespeare in the Park in recent years has been 250,000 including inkind donations.

    Also, we perform for 4-5 weekends but it is usualy only one play. This year’s schedule is on our website.
