New Works/New Communities brings people of diverse backgrounds together
around the creation of a new work of theater inspired by classic literature.
Our first four projects Pastures of Heaven, Love Test, Hamlet: Blood in the Brain and King
of Shadows (formerly known as Sweet Thunder), represent not only a commitment
to the creation of new American plays but also a new level of engagement
with communities who have been under-represented on our stage and in our
audience.
Through New Works/New Communities, Cal Shakes hopes to increase
access to the arts by including a diverse array of voices in a collaborative
process to develop new plays. In this way, we seek to more fully reflect
the cultural richness of the Bay Area in all areas of our Theater.
