Welcome to NYSX
New York Shakespeare Exchange mines Shakespeare’s canon for its powerful insight into the shared joys and struggles at the core of human experience, and channels that insight into programming that strengthens our communities. By using his works as both springboard and toolkit, we invite our fellow New Yorkers to form a relationship of “exchange” with Shakespeare’s legacy, creating new opportunities for artistic expression, social connection, and mutual learning.
