As we step into 2026, we want to share that Bard City will be taking a pause from our in-person Shakespeare Workouts for the foreseeable future.
Over the past two years, these sessions have meant the world to us - creating together, meeting so many brilliant artists, and welcoming inspiring industry professionals into the room. Thank you to everyone who trained with us, and to those further afield who’ve supported us from afar.
Bard City began in New York in 2016 in response to many actors expressing a lack of opportunities to practice Shakespeare. We have always believed that Shakespeare is a muscle that needs constant training, and that is what we strive to provide. What began as a series of workshops grew in ambition and scale on both sides of the Atlantic, consistently aiming to build a community of actors, writers, directors, and anyone interested in Shakespeare. We honestly didn’t think we would be going almost a decade later!
This isn’t goodbye. We’re excited to find new ways to keep the Bard City community alive
Look out for one-off events, and please know we’re always keen to support your Shakespeare-themed work - just get in touch.
With love,
Owen & Harry
