Romeo and Juliet
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Jonathan Moscone
May 27–Jun 21
Cal Shakes launches its 35th anniversary season with Artistic Director Jonathan Moscone’s production of Shakespeare’s passionate tale of young lovers caught in a dangerous and threatening world.
Private Lives
By Noël Coward
Directed by Mark Rucker
Jul 8–Aug 2
A divorced couple find themselves booked into adjoining honeymoon suites, igniting dangerous sparks. The exes lunge and parry their way through Noël Coward’s wicked, witty best. Associate Artist Mark Rucker (Twelfth Night, Richard III) helms this scorchingly smart romantic comedy.
Happy Days
By Samuel Beckett
Directed by Jonathan Moscone
Aug 12–Sep 6
We are all alone in the face of death, and all alone in the face of life-how can this stark truth be funny? But in Samuel Beckett's brilliant hands it is, as you'll find out when you see Cal Shakes' production of Happy Days. Artistic Director Jonathon Moscone brings the work of the Nobel Prize-winning Beckett to the Bruns stage for the very first time with this astounding portrait of a woman buried up to her waist in sand, and in the comically painful toil of her life.
PLEASE NOTE: The role of Winnie will now be played by Patty Gallagher. We regret that, due to personal reasons, Marsha Mason has had to withdraw from the production.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Aaron Posner
Sep 16–Oct 11
Young lovers, human and fairy royalty, and an amateur theater troupe reel through romance and spellcraft in one of Shakespeare's most hilarious and enchanting works. Cal Shakes welcomes Aaron Posner—Two River Artistic Director and co-founder of Philadelphia’s Arden Theatre—in his Cal Shakes directorial debut.
