Simply Silly Shakespeare

An Interactive Play for All Ages

By Matthew Windham & AJ Maniglia

Simply Silly Shakespeare, is a quick-witted, music-filled, interactive introduction to the works of William Shakespeare, and a love-letter to books and language.

The play has toured to schools, libraries, community centers, county fairs, college stages and theatres in Northern Arizona and beyond. It has been co-produced by Flagstaff Shakespeare Festival & Arizona Broadway Theatre, and was a 2025 Viola Awards Finalist for Excellence in the Performing Arts.

The sequel, Shakespeare on Pluto, created by the same team, won the 2026 Viola for Excellence in the Performing Arts.
