My name is Ronni Lewis, and I started Mudlark two years ago, but I've felt involved for about nine. I've never seen Mudlark as a "kids theatre company", because the shows are always so sophisticated. Mudlark has brought me from a shy girl, uncomfortable in the spotlight, to someone who will speak her mind whenever she feels it's necessary. Mudlark is now working to give more children of color a chance to go through the incredible transformation that I did. Please consider donating to the Diversity Initiative, a partnership with The Art of Evolution Theatre Company that will create new opportunities for children of color to participate in Mudlark programs. Help kids blossom into the inspirational actors that Mudlark creates, and don't forget to come see our 24-Hour play festival, Shakespeare is Dead, June 4th, 2017!

"Shakespeare is Dead" Supports

Mudlark's DIVERSITY INITIATIVE.
 

​Led by Mudlark's Youth Board and staff, "Shakespeare is Dead" is Mudlark's annual 24-Hour Play Festival: an evening of 10-minute plays written, directed and performed by young actors in just 24 hours! All proceeds will be donated to The Diversity Initiative, a new fund that provides opportunities for actors from The Art of Evolution Theatre Company of Evanston (AETC), a nonprofit organization that introduces children of color to meaningful theater experiences, to participate in Mudlark programming from summer camps to a collaborative production with AETC that will premiere in the fall of 2017.
