Taste of Shakespeare

Mission:

A Taste of Shakespeare exists with the mission to make the works of William Shakespeare more accessible to communities in the Colorado Front Range.  Using local community actors, directors, and tech artists, we perform scene shows and condensed versions of Shakespeare’s works.  All of our performances are “Pay What You Want”.  We also host free acting workshops (called “Shakeshops”).  We strive to make all of our activities welcoming and accessible for audiences and artists alike.  




A Taste of Shakespeare is a specialized educational program of Theater Company of Lafayette, a 501(c)(3) organization.

A Brief History of Taste!

A Taste of Shakespeare existed as part of the Longmont Theatre Company as far back as 1995 under the direction of Susan Nace.  At that time, the program focused on performing scene shows, primarily outdoors, and performed some music.  In 2001, Terry Kroenung re-envisioned the program to include full productions.  Subsequently the program was led by Sarah Krom from 2005 until 2023.  (Kurt Keilbach co-artistic directed with Sarah Krom from 2010 until 2012.)  During this period, additional education programs were supported by Stephany Roscoe, Don Thumim, and Dave Dahl.  In 2024, A Taste of Shakespeare found its new home as a part of the Theater Company of Lafayette.
