I did my first Mudlark show, A Christmas Carol, when I was in ninth grade.  Even though I started later than most Mudlarkians I still feel like I have found a home here.  During my first production, everyone I met was nice and caring.  Being a part of that production really helped me during that time in my life, and through more stage experience I found that Theatre was something I wanted to pursue.  I am currently a junior at Evanston Township High School and I have worked on several productions since A Christmas Carol, but I would have never been able to work on any of them without my fist production.  Basically, I owe the start of my theatre career to Mudlark.

All the proceeds from our 24 Hour Play Festival go directly to Mudlark’s new 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.

"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.
