Housing

During the summer season SSC needs to house a significant number of actors, artists and crew, bringing a whole new meaning to the phrase “Company’s coming!” Learn how you can support SSC through housing opportunities

Become a part of the Shakespeare Santa Cruz community. Each year the SSC company swells to over 200 people who help make the magic of the season happen. Many of the Company members come from New York, Los Angeles, and points in between.

Each season, the SSC Company Manager makes arrangments for accommodations for directors, designers, actors, painters, costume makers and theatre technicians of all kinds. Some Company members depart once the show they are involved with has opened; others remain for the full run. The time frame is roughly from early or mid-June to either late July or late August, depending on who is being housed.

Company Housing: We are seeking houses, apartments, and condos (no individual rooms, please) to sublet in areas accessible to the University.  All of our company members will be working long hours, thus of utmost importance is privacy and quiet. We need several special single person dwellings for our directors.  Housing comprises a significant expense to SSC, so donations of living quarters is also greatly appreciated.

Intern Housing: We also direct our interns who come from out of town to accommodations that might include sharing a household that already exists, a room in someone's home or a studio apartment. So, please do let us know if you have such a property for rent.  If you have housing that you would like Shakespeare Santa Cruz to consider, it is never too early to contact us.

Thank you for supporting live theater in your community!
