Shakespeare was a master gender bender.  From a company of all men performing women’s roles, to female characters dressing up as boys, all the way to The Viola Project, Shakespeare helps us critically examine gender with humor and humanity.  Join The Viola Project as you pull out all the pants roles from Viola to Portia and engage in theatrical dialogue about the stakes for men and women; in Shakespeare’s England and in our Chicago!

High School returning students may apply for a leadership role. Contact violainfo@violaproject.org for more information
