About
Bard in a Box is the Illinois Shakespeare Company’s touring production company. We brought a 40-minute version of Romeo and Juliet to schools across central Illinois during the Spring of 2024.
We performed in a variety of locations (audioriums, gymnasiums, libraries, and outdoors) bringing only minimal props and costumes.
In addition to the performance, we also provided a workshop and Q&A session to schools who requested it.
