"Do I like this play? Very 'Much Ado,'" writes critic Charles Culbertson in the Staunton News Leader. "Director Jim Warren has pulled on his steel-toed sneakers and sent MUCH ADO sailing out of the stadium."
Our Summer Season runs through the end of August with MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR, and TITUS ANDRONICUS. For the best seats, get your tickets now.
We all know that Staunton is great, but it's wonderful to see it rank so well on the New York Post's list of top 100 summer destinations.

Education & Research

The American Shakespeare Center is looking for bright, inventive, and driven individuals with interests in Development and Marketing to work with them this summer. Come on board with the Bard and add credits to your resume.
As a result of working with the actors and hearing from Ralph Cohen, Paul Menzer and other guests in the NEH, Rhonda Knight has won a substantial award from the NEH to return to Staunton.
ASC Actors and Dr. Ralph Alan Cohen reveal all about the plays at ASC.
