Mission:

The mission of Flatwater Shakespeare Company is to entertain and educate audiences in Lincoln and surrounding communities through Shakespeare and other high quality theater productions.

The Flatwater Shakespeare Company is intent on connecting younger audiences, non-traditional audiences, and under-represented groups with the dramatic arts, and exciting productions of Shakespeare's plays can broaden the base for all theater audiences: after all, Shakespeare has been selected by the National Endowment for the Arts as the richest "common ground" for American communities.

Many of our productions are designed to tour underserved neighborhoods throughout Lincoln. Our educational programs have partnered with other theatres, public school systems, private schools, colleges, and universities in Nebraska and with nationally-known institutions, such as the Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington DC. We will continue to build on this solid foundation of initiatives and partnerships.
