Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
Using Shakespeare's works as a cornerstone, Shakespeare Dallas serves the Southwest region with fun and accessible indoor and outdoor theatre, integrated school programs, and cultural enrichment for people of all ages and backgrounds.
-
Seasonal Productions - Shakespeare Dallas presented The Odyssey by Mary Zimmerman (recipient of the TACA Pop-Up Grant for Artistic Excellence), Twelfth Night, and Julius Caesar as part of our Shakespeare in the Park series. Julius Caesar included two sold-out student matinees serving North Texas students, with a strong focus on Title I schools. Overall, the season served more than 30,000 attendees, with 42% of tickets offered free of charge or at significantly reduced prices, reinforcing our commitment to accessibility.
Expenses $728,747 · Revenue $214,831
-
Education - Our Shakespeare on the Go! educational programming expanded in 2024 to include two age-specific touring productions, student matinees of Julius Caesar, four summer camps, and a variety of master classes and in-school workshops. These efforts reached more than 12,000 students across North Texas, providing hands-on arts enrichment and literacy support aligned with TEKS standards.
Expenses $88,064 · Revenue $30,112
-
Outreach - Through Shakespeare Unplugged, we presented Wars of the Roses (Henry VI Parts 13 and Richard III) in a staged reading series in partnership with Play On Shakespeare, featuring modern verse translations by Douglas P. Langworthy and Migdalia Cruz. Additional programming included book clubs, pre-show lectures, and members-only events designed to deepen engagement and expand access to classical texts for diverse audiences.
Expenses $57,115 · Revenue $7,000

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
