Love's Labour's Lost
King Ferdinand of Navarre has outlawed fun—or, as he likes to put it, turned his court into an academy. For the next three years, it’s time to study. No distractions. No partying. And absolutely, definitely no romance.
Join us for an effervescent, flirtatious comedy about bad ideas, fueled by the timeless message that school is for losers. If that sounded un-Shakespearean to you, then we guarantee this is going to be the most fun learning experience you've ever had.
(And yes, we see the irony.)
Past SHOWS
JUNE 2026
Othello
Outside the gilded bubble of Venice, in a liminal no-man’s-land halfway between peace and war, a storm is coming. Shakespeare’s unsettling psychological drama plunges us into a nightmare landscape where everything precious is poisoned and trust is a deadly misstep.
Shore up your weak spots—if you know where they are. It’s already too late to turn back.
FEBRUARY 2026
Richard III
In the aftermath of civil war, the traumatized new king's compulsive partying is destroying the court—and his health. Fortunately, his brother Richard has a foolproof plan to get England back on track.
Step 1: Richard will have to become king. That's not his fault. It's just how the government works.
And it's definitely not his fault that so many people—mostly his relatives—are in the way. Look, sometimes plans involve collateral damage, alright? This isn't personal. Obviously.
(But why should that stop him from enjoying it?)

Henry VI
Part 3
An unwilling king. A country in free-fall. And now...a new claimant to the throne.
Shakespeare’s bloodiest history play is an action-packed whirlwind of ambition, betrayal, and revenge. In this dark chronicle of the Wars of the Roses, there are no heroes, the crown is a curse, and mercy is always a mistake.
