About us

Founded by Jim De Priest and Steven David Martin in 2004, Theatre on the Green was formed to produce a summer Shakespeare festival, as well as provide outreach programs for the Windsor community and schools.

We believe in making our work accessible to everyone, so we are committed to keeping admission free for all of our events. That, of course, means, fundraising is crucial for our continued success. Please help us out with any donation you can spare. Refer to our our Help! section for sponsor levels and to see exactly how your donations help us.

And, please, feel free to contact us at any time with thoughts, suggestions and cold, hard cash!
