Mission

About California Shakespeare Theater: Founded in 1974, Cal Shakes began as an artistic collective presenting Shakespeares work outdoors in the park for free. Through the years we have evolved into a fully [Continued on Schedule 0]

Activities or mission (Part I)

Cal Shakes redefines the classical theater for the 21st Century, making works of extraordinary artistry that engage with our contemporary moment so we might learn about ourselves and each other in the fullness of our world.

  • There are three pillars of our work: MAKE, LEARN, ENGAGE.MAKE: We create art that represents the best of what we can do, and the making of it makes us better.Cal Shakes creates exemplary productions of works, both old and new, interpreted in vital and urgent ways. We do this with a commitment to bold theatricality, innovative interpretation, thoughtful excavation, to expanding cultural ownership of classic stories, and to being our best selves as artists, stewards, and members of our community.

    Expenses $2,495,496 · Revenue $1,279,061

  • LEARN: We nurture a cultural of learning where we are both teacher and student.Cal Shakes seeks to both teach and learn through our artnot simply about the theater but about our world. We transform young minds through the practice of theater, we listen to and amplify seldom heard voices, we confront our own insecurities and ignorance with an openness to new ideas.ENGAGE: We forge community by dismantling barriers to participation.Acknowledging that the theater is a rare public forum, we pursue a robust culture of participation that values above all authentic discourse around the work we make. We endeavor to hold space for all points of view because it provides a deeper, richer, more nuanced and human experience of the world.

  • Equity, Diversity, and InclusionAt Cal Shakes, we believe that equity is a practice. Our actionsboth onstage and offcan have a positive social impact by exposing oppression, addressing historic injustices, and showing how power can be transformed and shared in different ways. We endeavor to dismantle systemic bias by actively including, reflecting, and creating opportunities for our diverse Bay Area communities. We recognize that this work is ongoing and often imperfect, but we are committed to facilitating respect for the many facets of the human experience.

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.
