Overview

Mission

Napashakes is a nonprofit dedicated to presenting the world's greatest interpreters of shakespeare and classical theater in the napa valley and beyond. Founded in 2014, its mission is to establish California's napa valley as a world-class destination for professional classical theatre, and to foster an understanding and appreciation of shakespeare's life, times and writings through fun and challenging educational and community outreach programs benefitting residents, students and visitors alike.

What it reported doing in 2024

Due to the impact in 2024 of continued lack of touring by our most significant international partners and artists and by a continued lack of new film content for our screenings, the organization (i) continued negotiations and technical discussions with our globe theatre partners about our screening series and future live performances; (ii) engaged in discussions regarding new screenings at the cameo cinema, and possible alternative sources of programming; and (iii) worked on developing other possibilities for new live performances and screenings, including discussions with authors and directors.
