Dear Patrons of Shakespeare in the Vines,
As we reflect on an incredible year of accomplishments, growth, and transformation, we are filled with gratitude for your continued support.
This year, we proudly celebrated our 20th anniversary, marking two decades of bringing the magic of Shakespeare to our community.
Highlights from 2025 include:
Hosting our annual High School Monologue Competition, with 16 talented students from Riverside County participating.
Running two successful Shakespeare Camps, welcoming 35 campers—six of whom attended on scholarships.
Producing four outstanding plays, supported by over 50 dedicated volunteer actors, crew members, and front-of-house staff. These productions drew an audience of 2,098 patrons, including 513 guests who attended through our Pay What You Can Nights, fulfilling our mission to make theater accessible for all.
Expressing heartfelt thanks to the Baily Family, who graciously hosted us for more than a decade at our previous location.
Preparing to close the season with It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play at the Old Town Theater on December 21st and 22nd. Tickets are selling quickly—secure yours today!
None of these milestones would have been possible without the dedication of our volunteers and the generosity of our donors and sponsors. As we look ahead to an exciting new chapter of growth and opportunity, we invite you to join us in shaping the future of Shakespeare in the Vines.
