WELCOME TO DOOR SHAKESPEARE’S 2020 VIRTUAL SEASON
We were so excited to return to the Garden at Bjorklunden this summer. We even added a third production to our list of offerings in order to give you more options! But, then, you know what happened. Rather than close our doors, we regrouped and decided to go virtual! Learning curve? You bet! Exciting? You bet!

Shakespeare’s Plays Will Return to a Magical Door County Garden
From June – August, the finest professional actors, directors, designers and musicians from around the country come together to share classic and timeless plays with Door County audiences.
The productions unfold before your eyes. As a member of the audience, you are up close and personal to the action. As dusk falls over the course of the evening, you may take on the role of a confidante or a voyeur. By the end of the evening, when the stars are out and the actors take their final bow, you will feel as though you have come to know this talented ensemble of players. 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.
A number of Door Shakespeare performances feature pre-show lectures and family activities, including Will In The Woods and Shake It Up Saturdays, as well as our very popular Wine Nights. Refreshments are available at every performance. There is also our annual gala on August 2.
In addition to our main-stage productions, Door Shakespeare’s youth theatre program, Camp Will, offers three one-week sessions (Monday – Friday) led by members of our Acting Company. Over the course of five days, students are introduced to the world, stories and characters of William Shakespeare through a combination of theatre games, exercises, activities, and word play. The week culminates in a sharing of the fruits of their labor – on the same stage where the productions are presented.

DREAM UPON AVON by JOHN KISHLINE: It is Christmas Eve, 1615, at the Windmill Inn, Shakespeare’s favorite pub in Stratford-Upon-Avon. While the Bard quaffs his favorite beverage at his usual table, he encounters a series of 2020 visitors, each with an unrealized dream and unanswered questions. As things turn out, the Bard has some questions, too, for his visitors, as both playwright and guests discover the true meaning of the holidays.
