At Tennessee Shakespeare Company, we genuinely believe that Shakespeare is for everyone.

We actively seek opportunities to serve new communities and geographies in Shelby County, the Mid-South, and Tennessee.  We offer touring productions, playshops, and residencies that serve tens of thousands of students annually.  We produce the Free Shout-Out Shakespeare Series each year, touring a free performance of a Shakespeare play in notable public spaces in Shelby County and beyond.

Poetic Justice serves incarcerated youth at Youth Justice and Education Center, and previously at Jail East, The Hope Academy at Shelby County Juvenile Detention Center, and 201 Poplar. Feast of Crispian-South serves our military veterans at the Memphis V.A. Medical Center.
