Bard Association

The Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Bard Association offers lawyers and other individuals with legal ties the opportunity to experience classical theatre at its finest while building both personal and professional relationships. This unique affinity group provides a valuable connection between the legal community and the arts. Donors who designate their giving to the Bard Association enjoy exclusive benefits such as advance ticket purchase for the Mock Trial and Shakespeare and the Law events, behind-the-scenes access to the theatre and the chance to create a greater awareness of the importance of the arts in the community and the legal field.
