Door Shakespeare was created under umbrella of then named American Folklore Theater in collaboration with Blue Circle Theatre in 1995. The first season produced in the Garden at Björklunden included “A Midsommer Night’s Dream” and “The Comedie of Errors,” which played in conjunction with the same acting company performing across the peninsula at American Folklore Theater (Now, Northern Sky Theater). In 1999, the organization became its own non-profit and has since produced 36 striking productions of classical theater by playwrights including Shakespeare, Moliere, and Oscar Wilde in the Garden of Björklunden’s 405-acre estate on Lake Michigan in Baileys Harbor.
Under the leadership of Michael Stebbins and Amy Ensign, Door Shakespeare’s presence in the local and regional community continues to grow and is enriched by educational programming, including the Door Shakespeare’s Camp Will, Will in the Woods, Shake it up Saturday, and Shakespeare in the Schools. Door Shakespeare’s productions have been recognized and ranked in the top 10 theatrical experiences in the state of Wisconsin in 2017 by The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The 2019 season will feature Wm. Shakespeare’s Henry V, directed by Matt Daniels and The Merry Wives of Windsor, directed by Marcella Kearns.
