Shakespeare Improv was created by Shakespeare Royal Oak to enhance the fun in understanding Shakespeare’s work. They strive to make it relatable to today’s audience through the excitement of improv comedy. Shakespeare’s plays, and his language, are feasts of creativity, spontaneity, and wordplay.

His camera credits include commercials, tv (Empire, Patriot, South Side, Chicago Med), and movies (The Weatherman, All the Happy Families). McKay has returned to the stage the last few years at the Detroit Repertory Theatre (Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, Annabella in July, Alamo Shoes, and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom), and Brokeology at Tipping Point Theatre. He also directed Primary Trust at the Detroit Repertory Theatre this season.
