Join us as some of the finest performing artists across the region come together to share these timeless stories with you. It’s a journey you will remember for years to come.
“A top ten theatrical experience!” (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) Door Shakespeare productions unfold before your eyes. By the end of the evening, when the stars are out and you witness the final bow, you feel as though you have come to know the world around you a little better. Such is the magic of live theatre when performed in an outdoor setting so enchanting that many in attendance come back year after year since Door Shakespeare’s inception in 1995.

Lexi Praxl is thrilled to be back for her fifth summer with Door Shakespeare! Hailing from northwest Indiana, Lexi completed her theater education at Lawrence University and recently graduated with her masters in translation studies from Durham University in England. As an avid traveler, she enjoys theater wherever she goes. During her time in Durham, she worked as the box office manager at the local Assembly Rooms Theatre, a role she found a love for in these very woods. At the end of last summer, she spent a week as a theater critic reviewing shows at Edinburgh Fringe. Then, after finishing her masters thesis, rewarded herself by dancing onstage at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London. Outside of theater, Lexi is a competitive fencer, a hobby knitter, and a massive reader.
