Virginia Shakespeare Festival

Lord Chamberlain Society

Named for the original royal sponsor of Shakespeare's acting company, the Lord Chamberlain Society supports the Festival with donations and volunteer efforts. For more than twenty-five years, the Society has contributed toward the Festival's success in many ways.

Membership is available at several giving levels:

Some Society members have chosen to designate their contributions as memorial contributions.

We invite you to join the Lord Chamberlain Society. You can contribute online now with your credit card, using our secure web server. For more information, please contact Christopher Owens, Producing Artistic Director, at or any member of the Society's Board.

The Festival is also supported by its business partners and is sponsored in part by the Williamsburg Area Arts Commission, the York County Arts Commission, the Hampton Arts Commission, the Irene Leache Memorial Foundation, and Arts & Sciences at the College of William and Mary.
