**Brevity Shakespeare is an Ypsilanti-based theatrical organization founded in 2019. We are dedicated to making Shakespeare accessible for all. To this end, we are committed to ensuring that his tremendous stories aren’t only told by old white dudes, but instead assembling casts that are better reflective of our community at large. Our five previous productions are “Hamlet,” “As You Like It,” “Richard III,” “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” and "The Taming of the Shrew.” We will be putting on "A Tempest" later in 2026.**
