IMPORTANT UPDATE!
Witchcraft in Their Lips – Spring 2016. Because of the higher than expected number of attendees, the Saturday, April 16th, performance returns to the Austin Scottish Rite Theater. This is due in part, and thanks to the Daughters of the Nile. They ended their day early. Therefore, we can now enter the theatre space. It is important to realize, this ONLY affects the Saturday performance.
Witchcraft in Their Lips – Spring 2016
The Women of Shakespeare’s History Plays is A Partnership between ImprovEd Shakespeare, En Route Productions, and Untamed Shakespeare.
This is a Past Production from the Spring of 2016. The adaptation is by Stephanie Donowho and Nell McKeown. In this case, ImprovEd Shakespeare had an All-Female Youth Production. The director for this spectacle is Lindsay Doleshal.
“Deceitful dame | Ruthless woman | Belike she minds to play the Amazon.”

Some may question the concept of producing Shakespearean history works through the eyes of women. Indeed, many describe the idea as absurd! Yet, we understand, and moreover, believe in the revelatory nature of artistic, plus creative liberty. Thus, in light of this imagination, coupled with inventiveness, Nelson McKeown and Stephanie Donowho accomplished something extraordinary. As a result, they’ve created a new spirited play. A production, from the viewpoint of women, using only the Shakespearean text from the history plays.
Fortunately, we’re lucky enough to workshop the youth version. And, we think it is to your advantage to see it!
Directed by Lindsay Doleshal of En Route and Present Co.
The production stars a cast of nine adolescent females ranging in ages from 11 to 15 years.

Performance
Each fall and spring, ImprovEd Shakespeare develops a new production for live performance. In honor of the traditional Renaissance traveling troupe, during a period of a few weeks, we present Kid-friendly plays at various venues around town. Our Players, between 3rd-11th grade, gear themselves with playful, as well as engaging interpretations of works by the Bard of Avon. Suitable for all ages, each performance runs for about an hour.
Furthermore, these shows are always FREE. However, we gladly accept Donations! Additionally, visit ImprovEd Shakespeare, Shakespeare for Kids by Kids on Facebook, Instagram, & Twitter. And don’t forget to click on our BLOG for the stories behind these videos.
