What's Up with Parrish Playworks?
RAISING THE BARD!
For the SECOND time ever, we are performing Shakespeare! We are diving in with 11 scenes from his best plays. Here is a chance to introduce yourself to some of the very best theater ever written in the English language! Our show runs about 45 minutes, and each scene is from 1-5 minutes long. Just long enough to enjoy! See the details in the section to the right and bring a few friends to brush up your Shakespeare!
In case you are not familiar with us, Parrish Playworks, Inc., is a local theater troupe serving Parrish and the northern Manatee County region. We are passionate about creating theater together that engages our audiences and leaves them happier or more thoughtful about the world around them. Many of our team of talented performers have years of experience and a deep love for their craft, but we welcome newcomers who want to learn about the art of theater and telling stories together. We perform in a variety of genres, including murder mystery-audience participation shows, comedies, plays from literature, plays for young audiences, and storytelling that features local history.

We will celebrate William Shakespeare's 462nd birthday by performing some of his best known scenes for the good folks of Manatee County.

Grant Award to Parrish Playworks, Inc.
Parrish Playworks received a grant of $4,500 to light up our world! Literally. Nobody likes to be work in the dark, and our traveling troupe was in desperate need of good, stage-worthy but portable lighting equipment to bring on the road to the various venues where we entertain. We are grateful for the funding for this project provided by the Community Foundation of Sarasota County.
