San Jose Youth Shakespeare

San Jose Youth Shakespeare is a theatre company for young people who are interested in performing in high-quality, full-length productions of Shakespeare's plays. Ages of cast members range from 8 to 21. Our plays are not edited beyond what is standard in professional theatre.

Regardless of their age, our players are expected to work toward and maintain a high standard of performance. The group seeks to establish a strong sense of community that is shaped around a creative and intellectual interest in Shakespeare's dramatic poetry. The company is run and sustained by the cast, production crew, and their families.
