🎭 COMING SOON 🎭

Shakespeare in Detroit is excited to announce the return of our Youth Conservatory for its sixth production and seventh year of Shakespeare STEAM.

This summer, our talented conservatory students will take on The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) [Revised] [Again]—a hilarious, fast-paced journey through the Bard's entire canon.

This year's Conservatory was especially competitive, with more than 90 students auditioning for a limited number of spots. Congratulations to the students selected to participate in this year's program!

The performance will be presented as a special one-day-only event and admission is free.

Performance attendance details will be released exclusively through the Shakespeare in Detroit newsletter. Sign up today to be among the first to receive information about the performance and other Conservatory updates.

Stay tuned. We can't wait to introduce you to this year's extraordinary young artists.

We're filled with gratitude for The Skillman Foundation and their continued investment in our STEAM Program for the 2025–26 school year. 🌹

This support allows us to empower hundreds of students across Detroit — not just with technical and vocational skills, but with artistic values that speak to the wholeness of the human experience.

We believe a well-rounded education is a form of justice. Thanks to partners like Skillman, we get to put that belief into action — activating classrooms every school year and showing up in the community in ways that go far beyond the stage.

Thank you for believing in our students, our work, and our city. 🖤

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us today.

We are deeply grateful to the funders, stakeholders, community leaders, and friends who spent time with us as we shared our work, our impact, and our vision for the future.

Onward. 💜

Allow me to reintroduce myself.

Before the awards, before the headlines, before the stages around the world, there was a little girl from Detroit who fell in love with Shakespeare.

This is the story of how that love became Shakespeare in Detroit.
