Subject:    CSC’s Most Romantic Summer

Chesapeake Shakespeare Company

It’s another fun-filled, romantic summer of classics! This year, we’re producing what may be Shakespeare's most famous play—Romeo and Juliet. The production will combine a Renaissance world with modern performance poetry to create a unique theatrical experience, directed by CSC’s Jenny Leopold. In addition, CSC offers a sparkling version of Jane Austen's witty and beloved romance, Pride and Prejudice directed by international theatre artist Isabelle Anderson. Tickets are on sale now, and remember, kids 18 and under are admitted free when accompanied by an adult.

THE SUMMER OPENS JUNE 8TH!

Come see your favorite or come see both (two show package is only $54). Bring your kids on family-friendly Sundays or bring a date for a romantic evening on Fun Formal Fridays or come on any day for a great evening of outdoor theater from Maryland’s leading classics theater.

PURCHASE TICKETS

Chesapeake Shakespeare Company-in-the-Ruins is not your typical theater experience. We promise NEVER to tell you not to unwrap your candies during the show! Instead, we think of your experience at the Ruins as a theater party. You can rent an intimate table for two or reserve a whole picnic table for a big group—as long as you make it fun.

 Bring a picnic and enjoy the beautiful park, bring your kids or friends, bring a bottle of wine. We open the gates 90 minutes before show-time for this purpose and so that you can watch The Show Before the Show which will feature musicians, poets, dress-up stations, and 1800s games. This year, due to popular demand, we've added more talk-back sessions before and after the show—we call them CSC: Extended Versions. We’ve also got a special weekend devoted to Poetry Out Loud and another to Jane Austen.

People from all over the Baltimore-Washington region along with northern Virginians and southern Pennsylvanians are making Chesapeake Shakespeare in the Ruins a yearly tradition. We hope you will too!
