Synopsis:
In a search for guidance, a trans actor named Will makes contact with the spirit of the world's most famous playwright. The two become total besties, and, together, Will & Will reclaim the Bard's plays in all of their original homoerotic, cross-dressing, gender-fluid glory. GENDER PLAY, or what you Will promises a mystical evening of queer joy, laughter, tarot, and more than a little self-discovery.


MISSION STATEMENT
INDY SHAKES LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We at the Indianapolis Shakespeare Company acknowledge that the land we gather on is the stolen land of native people, the Miami and Kickapoo. We acknowledge that it is only through their loss that we have the privilege to be here. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the indigenous peoples past and present who have stewarded it throughout the generations and we hope that through our creative work we will be able to honor their land and their people, past, present and future. We honor all residents of color in the Near Northwest, past and present. We acknowledge that in the not-so-distant past, Riverside Park was segregated and designated as a "whites only" park. These truths call us all to commit to listening, learning, and building equitable systems so we can move toward a better future.
INDY SHAKES MISSION
To share the joy of live professional theatre with all; to build community with Indy’s Near Northwest and beyond.
