Shake on the Lake

Shake on the Lake is a professional theatre company that specializes in performances to underserved rural communities. Based in Silver Lake, Shake on the Lake hosts a full year of programming including Summer Shakespeare Tour, Winter Performances, and Educational Programming. “One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.” ~ William Shakespeare In 2011, Josh Rice and Pilar McKay founded Shake on the Lake over facebook. The hope was to bring Shakespeare to the shores of Silver Lake, the Westernmost Finger Lake. Performing in their hometown eventually grew into touring to other rural communities in Upstate New York. SOTL has grown into a touring company that hosts professional actors from throughout the country at Silver Lake.
