Performing at Boscobel House and Gardens | 1601 Route 9D, Garrison, NY
To see Shakespeare performed at Boscobel
under a magenta-streaked sky
on a balmy night is as satisfying an experience
as outdoor theater affords.
TERRY TEACHOUT The Wall Street Journal
With Shakespeare as our inspiration as well
as our resident playwright, we’ll explore the
intersection of the past and the present this
season: telling timeless tales that speak
DAVIS MCCALLUM
powerfully to our world today. At the heart of
each of these plays is a story about love — of comrades and
friends, of family, of country, of romantic enchantments and
unspeakable longing. Come fall in love!

ORSINO LOVES OLIVIA. Olivia loves Cesario.
Cesario’s actually Viola in disguise and in love with
Orsino… and Malvolio loves Olivia, too! Our musicfilled ensemble comedy of the season weaves
mistaken identities, tangled letters of love, and
gender-bending hijinks in equal measure, making
for a perfect midsummer romp.

faces mounting pressure to secure a suitable
marriage. But is marriage suitable for a woman
of Elizabeth’s intelligence and independence?
Especially when the irritating, aloof, self-involved…
vaguely handsome, mildly amusing, and impossibly
aristocratic Mr. Darcy keeps popping up?!
Literature’s greatest tale of latent love has never felt
so theatrical or full of life.

OUR RESIDENT PLAYWRIGHT’S own theater
company is the focus of this mostly true story,
which takes us backstage at The Globe to discover
how Shakespeare became Shakespeare and
to meet a pair of underdogs who saved English
literature’s greatest works! Dive head-first into the
noise and color of Elizabethan London with this
unforgettable story of love, loss, and laughter.
THE KING OF NAVARRE and his lords have
sworn off the pleasures of life to pursue their studies,
but can their oaths hold up when a princess and her
ladies come to town? Men and women test their
own constitutions in this hilarious Shakespearean
comedy that forces gentlemen in love to keep love –
and food, and sleep – at arm’s length.
