The Spring/Summer Classical Theatre Season in the San Francisco area

March 5, 2014 § Leave a Comment

Summer always means lots of Shakespeare, but with the 450th birthday approaching in just a few weeks, the classical season is shaping up a bit early this year. Below are some of the highlights of the coming season. Shakespearean comedies are heavily represented, as would be expected in a celebratory year, but surprisingly no histories this year anywhere!

The productions about which I am personally most excited appear in bold.

The players approach.
