For the past 50 years, the Shakespeare Club has become particularly well-known for its Broadway musicals staged annually to benefit various worthy charities in our community. In recent years, these have become semi-professional productions involving an entire year of planning and preparation. Under professional direction and choreography and with professional sets and orchestra, club members, husbands, and friends volunteer thousands of rehearsal, production, and promotion hours to bring the show to the public.
