American Shakespeare Center

American Shakespeare returns this season with a three-show summer season!

This summer the American Shakespeare Center is partnering with Mary Baldwin University, performing at their private, vine-covered brick courtyard known as the Rose Terrace. This open, yet intimate experience is the perfect backdrop for Shakespeare’s Henry V, a swashbuckling adventure with romance bursting at the seams of this the most exciting of Shakespeare’s histories, which ends, as so many of the great stories do, in a wedding.

Our home base is the world’s only re-creation of Shakespeare’s indoor theatre.  Since opening in 2001, the Playhouse has welcomed 914,624 guests to 5,750 performances.
