Shakespeare Association of America (SAA) is a non-profit, academic
organization devoted to the study of William Shakespeare and his plays and
poems, the cultural and theatrical milieu in which he lived and worked,
and the various roles he has played in both Anglo-American and world culture
ever since. The Association holds annual meetings in different North American
cities so that its members can exchange ideas and discuss strategies for
reading, teaching, researching, and writing about Shakespeare's works and
their many contexts. Sessions at these conferences include formal papers,
seminars, workshops, and performances of plays by selected acting groups.
The SAA also sponsors long-range projects of importance to Shakespearean
scholarship, offers programs for high school teachers of Shakespeare, supports
and tries to advance the values of the humanities more generally, and assists
in the planning of world congresses in Shakespeare studies.
