Welcome to Humber River Shakespeare

Humber River Shakespeare is a professional touring theatre company.
We are dedicated to creating high caliber, classical theatre productions that are accessible, entertaining and popular.
We seek to enrich the artistic profile of communities along the historic Humber River.
We are dedicated to the creation of new plays inspired by both the works of Shakespeare, and the history of the Humber River and its surrounding communities.
We strive to produce theatrically engaging work with a focus on actors, not elaborate sets, to tell Shakespeare’s timeless stories. Our emphasis is on making the text understandable and accessible to both the Shakespearean novice and the experienced theatre patron.

NOW PLAYING: The Taming of the Shrew

Touring Information

Casting Information

With a biting tongue and a ferocious temper, the headstrong Kate bows down to no man. But then, a suspicious suitor named Petruchio swaggers into town with a mischievous plan to reach her guarded heart.

Be prepared for a mix of high adventure and low comedy in this comic courtship. This no-holds-barred Battle of the Sexes is set in the world of Hollywood pirates and, with a cast decked out in colourful pirate garb, will explore the themes of love, greed and marriage.

With twice as many performances as in our inaugural season and now touring for 4 weeks, we are excited to bring our by-donation, outdoor theatre to new patrons and returning friends alike.
