Shakespeare in the Vines
Mission
SITV's mission is to build and maintain a classical theatrical company of such excellence that it shall overflow its local boundaries, thus creating a renowned artistic center in the Temecula Valley; strives to develop and preserve in our citizenry a life-long need to cherish the arts; believes in constantly seeking to present work of the highest quality and in offering company members, audiences and students the richest possible learning experiences.
Modeled after the OSF (Ashland, Oregon Shakespeare Festival) which draws over half a million theatre goers annually, SITV hopes to serve as a tourism draw for our local restaurants, hotels, wineries and other business establishments.
Finally, SITV seeks to create an educational outreach for our Temecula Valley schools, to bring Shakespearean performances and workshops to the classroom, and to originate a theatrical competition in which students will study, create, and perform the literature of Shakespeare.
“Bringing anything to the beautiful, scenic view of Temecula’s Wine Country is sure to culminate with flourishing success. Add a few glasses of wine and the dramatic works of William Shakespeare and you’ve elevated your night from enjoyment to enchantment.”
