Shakespeare’s work is alive and well, and his work continues to illuminate and inform who we are. The Dubuque Shakespeare Project acts as a focal point for celebrating the Bard’s work in the Tristate area.
In 2023, we celebrate the 400th anniversary of the publication of the First Folio, which is among the most influential books ever published.
