Incite Shakespeare Company Santa Fe
(formerly International Shakespeare Center) is a non-profit theatre company located in Santa Fe, New Mexico. All our work stems from our commitment to building ensembles both within our company and in our community through imaginative, entertaining and insightful performances and events. We strive to develop productions that take Shakespeare’s plays off the pedestal and explore their resonance in our contemporary times. We examine power, play with gender, and experiment with process. We create productions that provoke complex thoughts and deep feelings. We aim to present Shakespeare’s work as we experience it: exciting, alive, edgy, full of beauty, imagination, change, contradiction, and complexity. We want our whole community, from actors to audiences, from designers to students, to feel energized by Shakespeare.
Join us as we embody Shakespeare’s text and present our vision of an ensemble-driven creative process. Come and incite Shakespeare with us!
Live is Better
“Theatre is a complicit medium. The Audience completes the circle.”

We are proud 2024-2025 and 2023-2024 recipients of a generous Collaborative Impact grant from The City of Santa Fe Arts and Culture Department
We share this grant with our partner organization, Upstart Crows of Santa Fe, as part of the Santa Fe Summer Shakespeare Festival
Collaborative Impact (CI) focuses the programmatic efforts of Santa Fe’s arts nonprofit organizations on the development/creation of new media and/or programs intended to promote both Santa Fe’s rich and diverse arts and culture arena. The goal is to encourage collaborative projects independent of the partnering organizations’ traditional programming and foster the sharing of ideas, staff, materials, and resources. Organizations are encouraged to create multi-disciplinary programmatic content that promotes storytelling and advances the artistic vibrancy and cultural assets of Santa Fe in unique ways through in-person and/or digital experiences. CI grants are intended to expand the promotion of Santa Fe to include Cultural Tourism, thus attracting a specific audience of visitors who more directly foster our creative economy.
Incite Shakespeare Company Santa Fe is dedicated to making Santa Fe a destination for world-class Shakespeare.
