The Bard Gives Back
This year, we are piloting a new and innovative way to support our festival AND give back to the community.
When you donate to support our production of HAMLET at Bard Fest 2019, you can make your donation on behalf of one of our partner organizations doing important work in our community. Each time the donations to HAMLET reach the $100 mark on behalf of one of our partner organizations, BARD FEST will dedicate one of the performances to that partner organization and donate a portion of its proceeds from that performance to the partner organization! So check out the organizations you can support by supporting HAMLET at BARD FEST 2019 below, then make your donation today!
For more information on how the program works, check out the short video here:
