Wise Fool Theater is Duluth, MN's premiere classical theater company. Founded in 2010, Wise Fool is committed to staging professional quality productions of Shakespeare - and beyond! We believe theater is for anyone who has the desire to experience it - from the over-educated to the under-educated, rich and poor, young and old. Theater should be a visceral, exciting, life changing experience available to ALL.
In 2011, Wise Fool Shakespeare presented Hamlet at the historic Scottish Rite Auditorium. Company members were about to get an answer to their question - was Duluth interested in Shakespeare? The answer was a resounding YES! For 2012, we flexed our comedy muscles with The Taming of the Shrew at the downtown Teatro Zuccone. We had another fantastic audience response, proving Hamlet wasn't a fluke. Shakespeare is in Duluth to stay!
Praise for Wise Fool Theater
"If you had any question as to why "Hamlet" is Shakespeare's greatest tragedy, the latest incarnation of the answer was unveiled Friday night at the Scottish Rite Auditorium, courtesy of the inaugural production of the Wise Fool Shakespeare Company."
