Shakespeare at Winedale, a program of the University of Texas at Austin's English Department and Professor Kenji Yoshino’s Law & Literature class are a powerful combination. In 2000, students who had studied both with the Company and Professor Yoshino brought Shakespeare off the stage, out of the classroom, and into the Law School courtyard. Since then, students have been producing, directing and performing plays every spring.

Scripts are typically selected in early November. Auditions are held in early-February. We rehearse until our performances in April.

A closer look at the Court Jesters' casts and crew will reveal the talents of a former child star, an internatinal badmiton champion, a Rhodes scholar, an independent film maker, a former White House staffer, a barrel-racing champion and a U.S. Naval offier.

Theatre experience, optional. Sense of humor, a must.
