The anniversary season consisted of the Professional Company production of Henry IV (directed by Michael Goldberg), the Young Company performance of The Merry Wives of Windsor (directed by West Hyler), and the annual ShakeScenes shows featuring actors of all ages from South Bend and the surrounding community.
The production is always directed and designed by theatrical professionals, typically from either the Chicago theatre world or the University's own faculty and staff.
A number of professional actors are also employed, as well as Notre Dame and Saint Mary's students and South Bend community members.
In 2012, the baton was passed to Christy Burgess, the Shakespeare Outreach Program Director at Notre Dame's Robinson Community Learning Center.
