OUR 2020/21 SEASON

This new online Fall program was developed as a way for Middle and High School students to continue their theatre education, exercise their performance talents, and connect with their community through Southern Shakespeare Company’s mission of inclusion, diversity and community engagement.

With a focus on theatre and social change, the Community Connection Project will teach students about the power of art to tell stories, create hope, and inspire change.
