In honor of William Shakespeare's birthday today, we wanted to take a trip down memory lane to look at some of his plays that we have put on throughout the years:

Slides 1-3: Twelfth Night (1969)
4-6: Romeo and Juliet (1971)
7-9: Much Ado About Nothing (1976)
10-12: Love's Labour's Lost (2004)
13-15: Twelfth Night (2013)
16-17: Much Ado About Nothing (2019)
18-19: As You Like It (2023)
20: A Midsummer Night's Dream (2026)

What Shakespeare do you hope we do next?
