Events and Services


Shakespeare Anywhere invites you to "Send-a-Sonnet" as an affordable,
 creative, theatrical, literate gift. Think of it as a superior alternative to a singing telegram.

Our Sonneteers are highly trained classical actors with a sense of whimsy
and adventure! (We think they're all very attractive as well.)

 For pricing and/or more information*, e-mail us at:


 
info@ShakespeareAnywhere.com

*The Send-a-Sonnet service is currently available in:

  • the 5 boroughs of NYC
  • Westchester, NY
  • Long Island, NY
  • New Jersey
  • Washington, D.C.
  • Los Angeles
  • Chicago
  • Coming soon: Service in Philadelphia, and additional locations upon special request.

As of September 15, 2009, Shakespeare Anywhere will be available for private events. Event details will not be posted online, but you are always welcome to e-mail us for details and references. We'd love to come to perform at YOUR next event!
