See some world class Shakespeaare

He y fellow theater lovers,

The Shakespeare Theatre Company in DC has a special travelers subscription that I wanted to mention. Travelers are able to see all 8 plays in the company's stellar seasons over three weekends with subscriber benefits. This is the premier Shakespeare company in the US and it is just up the road a piece in DC. They have hotel packages as well. Call 202-547-1122 and press option 6 to purchase or go to Shakespearetheatre.org for more details. Plays this season include: "The Taming of the Shrew", "Edward II", "Julius Ceasar"(which I saw there just after the Rodney King riots and that production was amazing) and "Antony and Cleopatra" . Check it out.

At the risk of sounding snotty, I just want to encourage Shakespeare lovers to support Richmond's own hard-working Shakespeare company at least as much as they travel 2 hours up north to see our big-budget cousin. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that your support is needed a bit more in town than in D.C. And we've been doing some pretty darn good work lately, if I do say so myself.
