About us
The Inner City Shakespeare Ensemble brings at-risk students into the world of theater using Shakespeare’s ageless language and wisdom.
Our journey began in 2010 at George Washington Preparatory High School in South Central Los Angeles. Over the past decade we have grown to include a broad community of actors, directors, playwrights and filmmakers, all from a wide variety of ages, races, religions, socio-economic backgrounds and levels of experience.
We perform in parks, gymnasiums, high school auditoriums, beat-up black boxes, thousand-seat theaters, on film, online and in the streets.
