How to Save Shakespeare in Waterbury's Library Park

SAVE Shakespeare in Library Park

All the best communities have a Shakespeare Fest
Save Waterbury's
For 10 years, Shakesperience has given the gift of a Shakespeare Festival to Waterbury over the last weekend of each June.  Many of the most successful communities have one, but all require sponsorship and attendance.

Shakesperience has got a plan for the community to support its Shakespeare in Library Park on its tenth year.  YOU can help make sure 2014 is not the last year of the festival.

• attend the Shakesperience Interactive on May 6
• donate through Give Local
• attend The Blinding Truth talk tour
  
• donate to our Save Library Park campaign at Indiegogo.com
• become a sponsor of, or advertiser at, the festival
• and, of course attend performances at Shakespeare in Library Park
