Event Details
An internationally acclaimed (and hilarious) (and beloved) distillation of all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays, delivered in 97 marvelous minutes.
In this rush to glory, three madcap players in tights weave their wicked way through all of Shakespeare’s comedies, histories, and tragedies in one wild ride that will leave audiences breathless and helpless with laughter.

Lucentio loves Bianca, but society’s rules (and her father’s bad temper) prevent her marrying until her older sister Katherina weds. But Katherina is strong-willed, outspoken, and not interested in marriage
Event Details
Lucentio loves Bianca, but society’s rules (and her father’s bad temper) prevent her marrying until her older sister Katherina weds. But Katherina is strong-willed, outspoken, and not interested in marriage – three strikes against any woman in an era where females were considered property and required to be submissive. How much has changed in the 400 years since this play was published? See Shakespeare’s misogynistic masterwork through new eyes in ASC’s fresh staging.

Event Details
Vienna is rife with brothels and redolent of sin, but when its Duke decamps, his deputy takes a hard right on transgressors. Mocking hypocrisy and skewering corrupt authority, Shakespeare weaves a morality tale where the falsely virtuous are exposed and true-hearted victims rewarded. Not his first swipe at the Puritans who disapproved of many things in Elizabethan society – including plays and playwrights – Shakespeare’s sharp-witted tale takes its title from the New Testament Book of Matthew: “For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.”
