St. Louis Shakespeare was founded in 1984 to professionally produce and perform the plays of Shakespeare and other dramatic classics for the Greater St. Louis Area. In 2015, SLS performed Blood Reigns (an original adaptation of the Henry VI trilogy specifically written for our 30th anniversary). When this production concluded, SLS became one of only seven professional companies nation-wide to have produced Shakespeare’s entire canon. This monumental achievement garnered regional and national attention for SLS.
