Winter Opening Weekend: February 28 – March 1
All events take place at the Blackfriars Playhouse unless otherwise noted.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28:
Dr. Ralph Presents, 5:00pm
Renowned Shakespeare scholar and ASC Co-Founder and Director of Mission Ralph Alan Cohen provides his unique and cunning insight about Much Ado About Nothing prior to the evening’s performance. Ralph’s charm and good humor make this entertaining and enlightening lectures series a Blackfriars Playhouse favorite.
Dr. Ralph Presents Extended Experience, 6:00pm
Sorrels Lounge, inside the Stonewall Jackson Hotel
Come next door to continue the conversation with Dr. Ralph over cocktails and small bites.
Performance of Much Ado About Nothing, 7:30pm
Feel the joy of love won and the ache of love lost as this story makes you laugh, breaks your heart, and then somehow puts it back together again in Shakespeare’s tale of trickery and true love.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 29:
Performance of Henry IV, Part 2, 2:00pm
While young Prince Hal follows the path toward kingship under the eye of his father, the aging Falstaff drinks and starts trouble. The satisfying end to a tale too full of adventure to be told in just one play…
Performance of A King and No King, 7:30pm
Travel to the land of Iberia—a sort of adult Never-Never-Land—where King Abracas’ royal dilemmas include marrying off his sister before his own feelings for her get in the way and a murderous plot against him hatched by his own mother. This show is wickedly funny!
SUNDAY, MARCH 1:
Discovery Space at 11:00am – Shakespeare’s New Contemporaries Announcement
Be among the first to learn the title of ASC’s next world premiere companion play!
Second Chance Performance of Much Ado About Nothing at 2:00pm
