New for 2009

For the Shakespeare lovers in us all, Downtown will host a series of 4 live theater events during the summer. Featuring Two Gentleman of Verona, this hilarious comedy will be performed in July and August on Saturday at 6 pm and Sunday at 1pm. You won’t want to miss this chance to experience theatre in such an agreeable setting, and to make your summer weekends spectacular, with the dramatic Courthouse Square as backdrop!

Now in its 5th season , the very popular “ Shakespeare Under the Moon” tour, travels two productions to 8 cities, from San Francisco to San Diego, during the months of July and August.  We do what no other local company does, not just because of how far we go for our outreach, but because we integrate youth and local “guest artists” into our productions. Each community provides us with one or two actors, and we provide them with costumes, some business, and some dialogue in both shows, sharing the stage with the pros! Shakespeare Under the Moon is extremely fun for everyone, and is an event we would like to see continue for a long time to come! Become an annual sponsor today! Keep youth in the arts and keep your favorite theatre company providing high quality productions! www.shakespeareunderthemoon.com
