Review and Awards
Hamlet 2021
"Founder Carrie Isaacman and director Michael Hagins have brought together a solid group of actors dedicated to presenting Shakespeare’s first folio texts in a contemporary voice." -Jan Ewing, Hi Drama
Pericles 2020 Online
"The cast was committed and well prepared...Ms. Isaacman and her cast have earned a very HAPPY FACE for their efforts."-Jan Ewing, Hi Drama
Hamlet 2020 Online
"Shakespeare Sports has made a brave attempt to present this well-known classic under very difficult circumstances ...The reading was well done ... As Hamlet, Matt Tiemstra needs a stage. His energy and enthusiasm was evident, and his descent into madness particularly effective ... Mr. Hagins is a good director. His cast is definitely capable."- Jan Ewing, Hi Drama
Two Gentlemen of Verona 2019
Shakespeare Sports Theatre’s “Two Gentlemen of Verona” was a great minimalist production with actors demonstrating skill in both the language and comedic timing. Utilizing the park setting, they created a production that was definitely worth sitting in the park for." - Showtones
As You Like It 2018
'The production provided one of the most authentic performances of English Renaissance theatre we’ve ever seen, with the aforementioned scrolls not only present on the stage, but highlighted by the actors as they waited for their cues, read their lines and anticipated each others’ entrances.' - Opplaud.com
