Our British cast—veterans of some of the most respected theatre companies in the world—will tour campuses across the United States with their innovative five-hand staging of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Founded in 1975 by Homer “Murph” Swander and world-renowned actor Sir Patrick Stewart, AFTLS is an actor-driven tour de force. Our actors hail from such prestigious companies as Shakespeare’s Globe, the National Theatre of Great Britain, and the Royal Shakespeare Company. Uniquely, AFTLS actors not only perform a full-length Shakespearean play, but also visit dozens of classrooms during their weeklong residency.
In addition to enlivening theatre and English departments, the AFTLS experience can be tailored to enrich coursework across the academic spectrum. Our dynamic, hands-on approach will heighten each student’s intellectual curiosity regardless of discipline. Whether coaching accounting students on successful presentation skills, or instructing law students in the art of persuasion, these workshops promote a campus-wide dialogue inspired by the works of William Shakespeare.
