As part of their tenth anniversary celebration, the Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival’s Young Company touring group will perform on the Courthouse Lawn in Goshen. The Young Company is made up of gifted college students from Notre Dame, Saint Mary’s, and universities from across the region. Laughter, intrigue, and a huge helping of mistaken identity come together in this season’s Young Company selection, The Deceived – the Renaissance comedy that inspired Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. No one escapes the deception as the best intentions turn lovers into servants, friends into foes, and a lovesick girl into a headstrong boy, at least temporarily; this is a comedy after all! Access to the park and the hour-long performance is free of charge, so bring your picnic blanket, lawn chairs, family, and friends to enjoy a delightful summer evening with the Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival!

The Young Company is a direct outgrowth of the Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival’s mission to provide exceptional and unparalleled educational opportunities in a theatrical setting to exceptional students from the University of Notre Dame, Saint Mary’s College, and regional university partners. Each summer, Young Company members work alongside nationally and internationally renowned professionals. Participating students receive training in the practical arts of theatrical production including voice and speech, stage combat, production management and set and costume construction. Young Company members have graduated from the program to enjoy careers in acting, design and production all over the country! The Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival, Notre Dame’s professional theatre in residence, is one component of Shakespeare at Notre Dame, a program that also includes the McMeel Family Chair in Shakespeare Studies and Actors From The London Stage, a professional touring residency experience. The mission of Shakespeare at Notre Dame is to establish the University nationally and internationally as a center for the study of Shakespeare in performance.
