Ticket sales for the third season of Trinity Shakespeare Festival are now available online at www.trinityshakes.org or in person at the Buschman Theatre box office (located in Ed Landreth Hall.)  The box office will be open Tuesday through Saturday afternoons.
 
Tickets are $25/adults, $10/students and seniors, $15/ TCU faculty and staff. This year’s productions are Shakespeare's most compelling tragedy Macbeth, and the delightful comedy As You Like It.
 
Macbeth, directed by Stephen Fried who brought last summer’s hit, Much Ado About Nothing, is furious, ticking with tension, overflowing with magic, the fates, bloody deeds and ambition unbound.
 
Trinity Shakespeare Artistic Director T. J. Walsh is the director of As You Like It, embracing the melody of Shakespeare’s most lyrical of comedies. He also directed the festival’s award-winning production of Twelfth Night during the inaugural season in 2009.
 
Trinity Shakespeare Festival is a Shakespeare company pairing professional Equity actors with current TCU Theatre students.  Performances will begin with pay-what-you-can previews of As You Like It on Tuesday, June 7 and Macbeth on Wednesday, June 8 at 7:30 p.m. Seating at those performances will be first-come, first-served.

 

Opening Nights will be Thursday, June 9 with As You Like It in the Buschman Theatre at 7:30 p.m. and Macbeth in the Hays Theatre on Friday, June 10 at 7:30 p.m.  The plays continue on a revolving schedule through June 26.
