What Is Shakespeare to Go? Shakespeare to Go is a program started by Shakespeare Santa Cruz in 1988 in collaboration with the UCSC Theater Arts Department. Each year, a Theater Arts faculty member creates a 50-minute adaptation of one of the plays featured by SSC in the upcoming summer season, and assembles a cast comprised of UCSC students.
