King's Crown Shakespeare Troupe of Columbia University is a not-for-profit group recognized by the Activities Board at Columbia and committed to the ideal of Shakespeare for the simple folk and the simple minded. Their particular brand of Shakespeare has sometimes been called "nomadic", but they prefer to think of it as "too big for the stage". All performances are free, including their trade-mark spring show, which takes place in the great outdoors, staged at different locations around Columbia's Morningside Heights campus. This roving art form requires audiences to be quick of foot and of mind in order to follow the show. In addition to an annual Spring Shakespeare show, they also produce Fall shows which are not necessarily Shakespeare nor necessarily outdoors; however they are necessarily free, and still embodies the commitment to tasteful, quality theatre for which the group is famous.
