Helen Borgers

Halloween 2011 marks Helen’s 14th year as Artistic Director of LBSC. It is also her 32nd anniversary on the air at KKJZ/FM88.1. Born in Kansas City, Mo., Helen moved to Long Beach, CA in 1958. She majored in Dramatic Literature and History at Cal State Long Beach. She taught drama and Shakespeare workshops at Poly High School in the ‘70s, and at Cabrillo High School from 1999 to 2003. She has directed and performed in a diverse repertoire, from Euripides to Shakespeare to Tennessee Williams to Steve Allen’s Meeting of Minds. In 2007, the Long Beach Arts Council presented Helen with their Distinguished Arts Professional award.

Make a Spectacle!

Help us make a spectacle out of ourselves.

Fire Fund - we had a small electrical fire that certainly created a smelly spectacle during The Hound of the Baskervilles. We are working to pay off the cleaning and repairs that came to nearly $5000.

Underwrite a performance - we'd love to have you or your business underwrite one of our plays, webcasts or birthday celebrations. Please contact us at info@lbshakespeare.org and a member of our Board will contact you.

Community Support - We've been a member of the Long Beach community for over 20 years. Your support has kept us active providing entertainment and education. We need your help to maintain that tradition.

Remember: all contributions are tax deductible! And thank you for your support - all contributions are appreciated!

First Friday

First Fridays Long Beach
Every first Friday night of the month, participating Bixby Knolls businesses will unite to promote local artists and musicians through extended operating hours. In doing so we hope to encourage a dialogue between businesses, artists and the community.
