Shakespeare on Horseback

Inspired by Commedia Dell Arte (Italian Renaissance “Art of Comedy”), Shakespeare, and all things “horsing around”, Equine Dell Arte’s 1st full length production ‘O! For a Horse with Wings’ will take you on a whimsical wild ride! Galloping through a montage of music, magic and mayhem actors and horses team up to bring you a performance like you’ve never seen before!

Equine Dell Arte is an ensemble company comprised of professional actors, students, people with disabilities and/or under-served populations, and horses (of course!) working together to empower, enlighten, and entertain in an outdoor theatrical setting. EDA is a for profit company that donates to non-profit therapeutic entities.

EDA was conceived by Susan Kelejian and came into being in 2013. In the past year we’ve held acting workshops and performed at 2 fundraiser events for the Shadow Hills Riding Club (www.ShadowHillsRidingClub.org). The reception and popularity of those performances and workshops have lead to the demand for a full length, stand alone performance, “O, For a Horse With Wings!”

Since Equine Dell Arte began with SHRC, and we continue to work closely with them and their horses, a portion of all proceeds from the performances will go back to supporting their amazing therapeutic programs, including:
-Saddles and Serenity (People in recovery from addictions)
-Saddles for Soldiers (US veterans)
-Equine Assisted Activities and Therapies (Children and adults with special needs)

All funds raised by this IndieGoGo will go towards the production of “O, For a Horse With Wings.” 30% of the proceeds from performances in September will go towards Shadow Hills Riding Club Therapy programs, while 70% goes back into Equine Dell Arte for further productions.
