Shakespeare & Company proudly presents three exciting productions—Richard III, The Winter’s Tale, and the world premiere of Joan Ackermann’s The Taster—to light up Founders’ Tenth Anniversary Season, and to celebrate Shakespeare & Company’s 33rd year of extraordinary theatre.
Also in 2010, Lunchbox Shakespeare returns to the boards with a lively production of The Comedy of Errors, presented by S&Co.’s lauded professional actor training program and its youthful and exuberant students.
In celebration of our 33rd Season, patrons can see all three Founders’ shows for just $33 each. That’s Richard III, The Winter’s Tale and The Taster for just $99. The 3 @ $33 Package makes a great gift idea year long. Expires April 23—click here to buy now!

“an enjoyable evening of silliness and schtick, complete with a magical, fairy-tale happy ending”
—Berkshire Living
“a lot of fun, just the thing to brighten the holiday season”
