They Like Us. They really like us.

“The improv-comedy group Love, Shakespeare takes themes, tropes, tricks from the Bard's world (loosely defined), tosses them around the room, and spins those associations and expectations on their pointy heads.”

    KGW's Hello Rose City

    We have been making the TV and radio rounds this week before our big performance at Portland Center Stage - on the main stage! Watch our interview with Lacey Evans on Hello Rose City, as we get out the word about our upcoming performance.

I’ve seen the magic that is ‘Love, Shakespeare’ at least 4 times now, and it never disappoints! Every time - I laugh, I cry, and then I laugh some more. Thank you for consistently bringing love, delight, improvised poetry, and hilarious chaos into the hearts of your adoring fans! Can’t wait for the next show!
— Laura A.

Press & most hearty approvals

It would be more than enough if Love, Shakespeare was as talented as they are but for me, the cherry on top is the love they so clearly have for performing. I so enjoy seeing them clearly having a great time.

As two English majors, writers, and theatre parents, we adore Love, Shakespeare! One of us is a full-bore Shakespeare nerd, and we’ve visited Stratford and seen Shakespeare plays countless times. Of all the improv shows we’ve seen, Love, Shakespeare is our absolute favorite. We’ve seen it three times, and each one was different. Can’t wait to get back to another show!

If Shakespeare was on 5-hour energy - with a comedy kick! That’s Love, Shakespeare.
