In recognition of the vital role our members play at STC, our membership program is now called Shakespeare Stars.

Each year, more than 3,000 generous individuals help us bridge the critical gap between ticket revenue and operating costs by making a membership gift. Donations enable us to offer season after season of world-class productions and have been instrumental in making STC the preeminent classical theatre in America. Our members have always played a leading role in the Company—now they will receive the Star billing they deserve.

Members of Shakespeare Stars enjoy exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the Shakespeare Theatre Company. Click on your desired membership level for information about Stars-only benefits.
