We're sorry to share that Summer Shakespeare is canceled. ⚠️

Please update your calendars. We hope you'll stay tuned for future events!

We regret to share that our planned summer Shakespeare production has been canceled.

Despite our excitement and early preparations, many of our talented local actors have had prior commitments this season, and we ultimately did not have enough available performers to bring this show to life in the way it deserves. This was not an easy decision, and we are truly disappointed not to be gathering together to share this production with you.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who expressed interest, auditioned, or supported this effort. Your enthusiasm means the world to us.

We look forward to returning with future productions and hope to see you soon—on stage and in the audience.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support of our theatre community. 🎭
