How now, sweet friend?

Over the years we’ve earned a REPutation for presenting outstanding productions of Shakespeare’s plays and before that for our critically acclaimed New Jersey premieres and site-specific stagings.

Your generous support has helped make it possible for us to bring totally accessible, professional, outdoor Shakespeare productions to life in Pettoranello Gardens every summer since 2000. By "totally accessible" we mean free of charge and fully open to everyone and, with your help, we’d like to keep it that way. Please show your commitment to this unique community asset by renewing or joining today.

Such an inclusive celebration of the Bard is unique in New Jersey. Did you know that the Princeton Rep Shakespeare Festival is one of only sixteen free outdoor Shakespeare Festivals nationwide, and one of only a handful that employ union contracted actors, directors, designers and stage managers? They are paid pension, health, and welfare in addition to their salaries. And did you know that individual support accounts for over 55% of our operating budget? Your membership is crucial to our survival.

We're writing you today to ask you to become a Member or to renew your current membership, at a higher level, if possible, We are certain that with your help we can expand our membership base and take Princeton Rep into its next twenty years.

To thank you in advance for your kind participation, we have updated our benefits package to provide patrons on any level with fun and exciting gifts. There are too many to list here, so please look through the benefits package to find out what you can receive in recognition of your new donation. Then fill out the membership form provided which gives you a range of options.

We look forward to seeing you at Pettoranello Gardens this summer where you can once again enjoy top-notch arts programming in a beautiful, natural setting - indeed, the best of all worlds.

As Shakespeare might say, we give you good morrow and evermore thanks.
