“How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a weary world.”
— William Shakespeare
The Prospero Society is a community of CSC’s most devoted and enthusiastic supporters. Society members believe passionately in our mission to bring Shakespeare’s timeless works to the community with the highest artistic quality, innovatively presented, and accessible to all audiences, and to train the next generations of theater professionals, instilling a lifelong love of theater in artists and audiences.
We invite you to join us.
As a Prospero Society member with your annual gift of $1,000 or more, you will enjoy opportunities to meet other members who share your commitment to CSC, gain access to our artists and glimpses behind the scenes, and — most of all — experience the joy that comes from knowing you are sharing in the future of the arts in our community.
Members are invited to deepen their experience with CSC by attending “salon-style” events in a variety of private residences and intimate settings.
Within the Prospero Society, we are honored to recognize CSC’s communities of generous donors at the highest levels with opportunities to connect deeply and personally with our artists, leaders, and backstage elements of our programs.
For more information, contact Director of Development, Alexandra Pool at apool@commshakes.org or 617-426-0863 ext. 202.
