Founded on the ideals of uninhibited access to the great classics for as many Australians as possible, Bell Shakespeare presents its broad range of touring productions and education activities regardless of geographic location

As Australia's national touring theatre company, Bell Shakespeare tours every state and territory with creativity and audacity. In 2006, the Company will travel further than 125,000kms and perform on 43 stages across the country

In 2006 there will be opportunities for more than 100 actors, directors, designers, artisans and technicians across all Bell Shakespeare activities. This is in addition to the hundreds of people who will work on Bell Shakespeare productions in theatres around the country

Bell Shakespeare is an arts organisation on the move. With no permanent performance home the Company remains agile enough to work within communities and not be restricted by geography

While Bell Shakespeare has strong corporate support along with committed private patrons, healthy audiences and loyal schools; the need for increased operational funds is essential for the Company's survival
