What is the Placerville Shakespeare Club?

The Placerville Shakespeare Club was founded in 1897, by 20 local ladies. 125 years later, the club boasts 160-200 members. Members do community service work as well as enjoy interest groups including international dance, singing, and needlework, plus five literary groups, and the “Players” group which performs a yearly production of Shakespearian excerpts.

The Placerville Shakespeare Club played a key part in local history such as establishing the El Dorado Public Library, provisioning free kindergarten, saving Cedar Grove trees along Highway 50, and conducting blood drives.
