Mission Statement

The Summit Players' mission is to present free, accessible, innovative theatre to families around Wisconsin and spark a love of language in minds of all ages. The players use theatre as a learning medium and introduce children to a passion for language, communicating, and constructive play, while providing adults with an enjoyable theatrical experience. The only company in the country focused on touring a production through state parks, the Summit Players build connections between Shakespeare, the outdoors, and fun. To do so, we seek innovative and original ways to perform, to connect the classics to our contemporary time.
