Wooliam Sheepspeare

Meet the Creator
Behind every great sheep is a slightly overworked human.
I’m the creator of Wooliam Sheepspeare — a lifelong theater educator, designer, and pun enthusiast who decided the world needed more laughter (and better t-shirts).
After three decades teaching acting, directing, and theater history, I started turning my favorite classroom jokes and cultural references into wearable art. What began as a side project to amuse my family and students quickly grew into a full collection celebrating everything from Shakespeare to philosophy to the universal chaos of teaching teenagers.
Every design is created with a mix of love, caffeine, and the lingering smell of stage makeup. My goal? To make things that make you laugh and feel seen — whether you’re in the wings, in the classroom, or just in need of a clever shirt that says, “Yes, I am that kind of nerd.”
When I’m not designing, I’m usually sketching ideas for the next Wooliam adventure, drinking too much coffee, or trying to explain to my family why “The Merchant of Venison” is actually a solid business idea.
Thanks for joining the troupe — the standing ovation’s all yours.
