A unique storytelling experience! Together, artist and audience join to create a collective telling of the star-crossed lovers, all the way up to that balcony scene… the lovers live! No preparation, no pressure, no dying, you’ll read a few easy lines from the play as a group from your seats (you will not be singled out if you haven’t volunteered for it pre-show). This show is a fun and fringey opportunity to speak the speech, fall in love, and have a fun new experience.

“Fun!” – 101.5 UMFM

“Playful” – Winnipeg Free Press

“Delightfully Creative… buzzed with laughter and genuine fun. It’s Schindel’s infectious energy, enthusiasm, and sheer passion for the Bard that bring this experience to life in such a unique and joyous way. If you’ve ever endured a lackluster or grueling encounter with Shakespeare in the past, Shakespeare: Say It! just might change your mind.” – Kingston Theatre Alliance

“Hilarious show! VERY fun concept for Shakespeare and had a blast with the audience. I would see this show in heartbeat if it was back next year.” – Devon

“Creative & clever, interactive & entertaining! Highly recommend!”- LConnor

“I am not a huge Shakespeare fan and I had a FANTASTIC time at the show. The interactivity is so fun, l loved the space Dana brought us into together. Highly recommended.” – C.

“We loved it and after seeing several shows, this is still one of my favourites. It feels like enjoying a bit of Shakespeare with a bunch of your best theatre friends, and Dana has the best energy! You’ll like it, check it out!” – Jacque

“I normally don’t like audience participation, but this is different and fun and you don’t have to go onstage!! She really makes the Bard come to life and the ancient words become suddenly totally understandable! – Kathy

“It was awesome! Such a fun and welcoming space!” – Marley
