Overview

Considered one of the best Shakespeare companies in the country, this resident troupe originated at the esteemed Folger Shakespeare Library, where it performed in the lovely but minuscule replica of an Elizabethan theater. The successful move to this gracious 450-seat space testifies to the company's strong appeal to Washington audiences. Among the most popular of the company's special events are the free summer performances of Shakespeare at Carter Barron, an outdoor stage in Rock Creek Park and its Shakespeare festival, performed at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Great plays, great presentation!by Yahoo | 2006-12-27 23:56:49 |

Always interesting intepretations of Shakepeare & other drama w/ GREAT presentations--sets, costumes, actors. Really a treat--a great way to experience plays you've seen many times or to introduce a newbie to live theatre.

Outstanding Dramaby Yahoo | 2006-07-03 02:34:48 |

Been going to this theatre for 5 years now (once a year) and the presentations are always outstanding. This year's selection of Love's Labour Lost (done in the 1960's in India) was particularily interesting. Excellent way to interest folks in how Shakespeare can be done.
