More information on Shakespeare Theatre

This is top-level theater, with superb acting. Try your best to get tickets; the productions are reliably outstanding. Season subscriptions claim many of the seats, and the plays almost always sell out; so if you're interested in attending a play here, buy your tickets now. This internationally renowned classical ensemble company offers five plays, usually three Shakespearean and two modern classics each September-to-June season. The 2005-06 season includes Othello, Comedy of Errors, Love's Labors Lost, and Moliere's Don Juan. The company also offers one free-admission 2-week run of a Shakespeare production at the Carter Barron Amphitheater in Rock Creek Park.
