Wise Fool Theater

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.
