About Us

Our mission is to make Shakespeare a more accessible art form to the general public. Traditionally considered to be an elite form of theatre only palatable to white, middle class audiences, Shakespeare often seems out of reach or dated to most undergraduate students. The purpose, then, of this troupe is to demonstrate that a) Shakespeare's writing is still as relevant as ever and that b) his work can truly be enjoyed by any audience.

This organization is a registered student organization of Cornell University.

Why The Bard?

Because, why not? All the world's a stage, so why not play our parts!
