Black Box Series
The Black Box Series will return to the stage in the winter of 2024 with an exciting new production!
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) (Revised)
MSIP is pleased to announce our 50th Anniversary Tour– The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) [Revised].
From plays to sonnets, this high-octane performance shares Shakespeare’s best. Audiences will delight in this fast-firing comedy that attempts to prove that three actors can do the impossible: act through Shakespeare’s entire canon – 37 plays – in 90 minutes!?
As a way to give back to the communities that have made these last 50 years possible, we are thrilled to offer this shoulder season tour as way to say thank you! Thank you for making us such a valuable part of your communities, and for continuing to keep our mission alive and well. The Complete Works Tour is a toast to your generosity, support, and commitment to providing access to the cultural arts for the last 50 years across Montana and beyond.
As our whirlwind tour concludes, we will return to Bozeman for a limited run as part of our annual Black Box Series.

Thank You for Joining Us for Our 50th Anniversary Tour
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] visited 29 communities throughout Montana and Wyoming in fall 2022 and concluded with 2 weekends of local performances at the Black Box Theater on MSU’s campus.
Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy this special 50th anniversary tour and celebrate 50 years of Shakespeare in the Parks!
“Shakespeare may be the vehicle, but it’s a much bigger thing. It’s a community experience, that the cultural arts are able to bring everybody together, to unify for that moment in time.”
