Shakespeare in Clark Park is proud of our commitment to Radical Community Engagement: making theater by, for, and with the people of Philadelphia.

For the past 6 years, we have invited Philadelphians to join us on stage as Community Artists. First, they stormed the Bowl as part of HENRY IV's 100-person army; then it was the kids’ turn in THE WINTER'S TALE; In 2021 Community Artists took center stage in our productions of PERIL’S ISLAND in Harrowgate Park and GERMANTOWN PLAYS PERICLES in Vernon Park. Last year our The Active Community Chorus developed their roles, wrote a majority of their lines, and crafted their musical moments for The Taming! which helped to shape the text and tone of the show.
