About The Tour
For nearly 20 years, Seattle Shakespeare has brought live, 90-minute versions of Shakespeare’s plays to schools all across Washington. That means over 125,000 students—just like you—have gotten to experience these stories up close. No matter where we go, we hear the same thing: students who thought Shakespeare was confusing in their textbooks say it finally clicked when they saw it live. Watching the characters come to life helps make the language easier to understand—and way more fun.
Take a look and see how the 2025 Touring Ensemble has brought Romeo and Juliet to life!
How Does Booking a Tour Work?

Provide a minimum 25′ x 25′ space for our playing space and backstage area, 6 chairs, access to bathrooms, access to a private changing area (which can be bathrooms that students are not using during actor setup) access to drinking water, and a place to park our touring van. (If you have a lighting setup and a board operator, we can use a “day” look and an “evening/night” look, and bring a prompt book for the light board op to use.)
