This season we are striving to make visiting Shakespeare & Company an exciting and affordable experience—which is why we’ve planned so much for you to see and why we’ve made a point of lowering ticket prices for some seats at every show on our calendar. We’re sure you’ll be able to find a ticket that is within your budget—and with our diverse productions, a show to suit your tastes.
Below are just a few new ways we’ve made visiting Shakespeare & Company affordable to all. As always, we’re continuing to offer the 40% Berkshire Resident Discount, 50% Youth Day-of-Show Discount, Teachers & Military Discount, and more. Learn about all our discounts, or read on for the newest.
Boston-area friends of Shakespeare & Company will now get their chance to see Elizabeth Aspenlieder’s “bravura performance” as Haley Walker in Theresa Rebeck’s Bad Dates, playing at the Merrimack Repertory Theatre for three weeks, March 19-April 12.
Merrimack Repertory Theatre, “the best kept secret of the Merrimack Valley”, is just thirty minutes from Boston in the heart of historic downtown Lowell, MA.
Dear Friends,
You will love what we have in store for 2009/2010. After planning 32 seasons, I can positively say this is the most daring, powerful, impassioned line up that we have ever brought to stage. I turn the Artistic Director reins (or is it a whip?) over to Tony Simotes at the close of 2009, so I am especially keen in making this a thunderous season.
In the face of today’s economic climate, I am especially proud to say that Shakespeare & Company is standing firm and fast on our mission to bring the raw power of Shakespeare’s language and important modern voices to more audiences and keep tickets affordable to everyone.
EDIT: Tickets are now available for purchase online! The Box Office will begin taking phone orders Thursdays and Fridays from 11am-5pm, beginning March 12th. Stay tuned to our website for further Box Office Hours.
(Shakespeare & Company Members may purchase tickets over the phone this week—Thursday & Friday only—by calling 413-637-1199 ext 305).
This will be a season of ‘life laid bare’ and costs kept spare. Our shows will be simple, stripped down and sparingly beautiful, but we are doing more, performing more, playing more than ever before. Shakespeare & Company is not shrinking back. We will play on! I hope you’ll be play on with us. Join us for Shakespeare, and new voices. Music, clowning and spontaneity across our meadow and stages. More dialogue, discovery and delight for all!
Tina Packer
Founding Artistic Director
