What is the Placerville Shakespeare Club?

The Placerville Shakespeare Club was founded in 1897, by 20 local ladies. 129 years later, the club boasts 133 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.
