Shakespeare in the Ruins (SIR) is a registered charity with a 32-year history of delivering classical theatre with a contemporary twist. What began as a bold experiment by local artists has become a vital part of Manitoba’s cultural life – bringing promenade-style Shakespeare and adjacent works to outdoor spaces, building lasting family traditions, and sparking conversations that matter.
SIR is also a launchpad for emerging artists, a bridge between training and the professional stage, and a source of meaningful employment for dozens of local creatives and crew each year. This work isn’t just about performance; it’s about growing the next generation of artists, inviting new and diverse audiences into the world of theatre, and making space for stories that challenge and connect us.
If you believe in this kind of work, we invite you to support it. One-time donations help us weather unpredictable seasons. Monthly gifts help us build a more stable future. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you for your support.
