About Summer Shakespeare: Greenville, SC Production

Summer Shakespeare is a local theater company that focuses on high-quality, affordable productions for the whole family. Located in Greenville, SC, they have been performing Shakespeare’s plays since 1995. 

The company makes each play more family-friendly by cutting the length of each play and substituting current words for some words that are obsolete. And while some well-behaved 2-3 year olds have quietly sat through some productions, they tend to see more enjoyment from children around 4-5 years old and up.
