CHRIS ROGERS (1959 – 2020)
Chris Rogers founded Shore Shakespeare
Company in 2012, together with his friend and
theatre colleague Avra Sullivan, with the aim of
bringing free outdoor performances of
Shakespeare’s plays to audiences on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland. Chris felt strongly
that the issues Shakespeare explored four
hundred years ago were timeless and that a
committed group of actors could make his
plays understandable and relevant to modern
audiences.
