The Shakespeare at Winedale program, created in 1970 by James B. "Doc" Ayres, is a program affiliated with the University of Texas at Austin,[1] dedicated to Shakespearean criticism through performance of the plays. The main performance space at Winedale, located in Round Top, Texas, is a barn donated to the University of Texas by Ima Hogg.
Each summer, a group of university students lives, studies, and performs at Winedale, presenting several Shakespeare plays in repertory inside the converted barn.[2]
In addition to the college program, Shakespeare at Winedale now operates year-round initiatives such as Camp Shakespeare, a residential program introducing children and teens to Shakespeare’s works, and the Outreach Program, which partners with schools across Texas to promote arts education.[3]
