For 52 years Montana Shakespeare in the Parks has been building community traditions through free performances in your parks and in your schools. We couldn’t do this without you. In fact, 85% of our funds come from grants, sponsorships, and donations from supporters like you.
During the school year, MSIP’s education programs visit over 100 schools grades K-12 throughout Montana and Wyoming. Through a full day of enrichment, students experience abridgments and adaptations of Shakespeare’s classics, paired with actor talkbacks and classroom workshops.
Situated in the heart of Big Sky country, Bozeman, Montana, Montana Shakespeare in the Parks is an outreach program of Montana State University serving 65 rural and underserved communities over a 12 week tour across 5 states. We are always looking for world-class actors and volunteers to join our team.
