About

Who we are

Parlor City Shakespeare Company is dedicated to creating engaging and entertaining classical theatre through the works of William Shakespeare and his contemporaries.

Our Experiences

Immerse yourself in the world of Shakespeare under the open sky with our annual “Shakespeare on the Plaza” event, held every September on the Parlor City Plaza in the heart of Bluffton’s vibrant downtown. Each production captures the essence of Shakespeare’s timeless work, infused with a fun and modern twist.

In May, join us at the Parlor City Brewing Company for Beers with the Bard, where we attempt to cram 3 of Shakespeare’s plays (from start to finish) into just 10 minutes each. Add in some of the area’s best locally brewed beers and music from Fort Wayne’s The Rag Tag Bunch, and you’ll be having a great time all while supporting the arts and local business in Bluffton!

Sign up for our mailing list and raise a glass to the timeless beauty of literature and the joy of community.
