Dear Friend,
I could not have asked
for a more fitting season to celebrate the Shakespeare
Theatre Company’s past 25 years. It is truly extraordinary
to see the impact this Theatre has made on audiences,
artists and the American theatre throughout its
existence. We were honored to receive the 2012
Regional Theatre Tony Award® from the American
Theatre Wing, as a testament to our efforts to produce
quality classical theatre. I was privileged to accept the
award on behalf of everyone who has worked tirelessly
for this on-going artistic adventure.
With our 25th anniversary, we commemorated all of
the traits that make the Shakespeare Theatre Company
a pillar of the community. We began with the beloved
Washington tradition, Free For All, now in Sidney
Harman Hall for the third season, with a revival of our
2007 production of Julius Caesar. It was so rewarding
to see a crowd enjoying one of Shakespeare’s greatest
works—especially those who have not visited us before.
We had a wonderful mainstage season that at once
honored our past and thrust us toward the future. I
began by directing a production that first found its
home in our ReDiscovery Series, The Heir Apparent,
a witty and thoughtful adaptation by David Ives. Our
first Shakespeare play of the season, Much Ado About
Nothing, brought Caribbean heat to Beatrice and
Benedick, thanks to the immensely talented Ethan
McSweeny. Shakespeare’s The Two Gentlemen of Verona
was ushered into the modern era by PJ Paparelli, another
former STC Associate Director. I was eager to direct
Eugene O’Neill’s Strange Interlude, a play I have long
admired and worked tirelessly to respectfully shorten.
Washington welcomed an inventive commedia dell’arte
troupe to our mainstage for an adaptation of Carlo
Goldoni’s The Servant of Two Masters. We capped off
our season with a glorious production of The Merry
Wives of Windsor—which harkened back to our first Free
For All production—expertly directed by Stephen Rayne.
We were also extraordinarily proud to present
innovative international productions that bend our
perceptions of what theatre can do. Basil Twist’s
Petrushka, the Gate Theatre Dublin’s Krapp’s Last
Tape with John Hurt and smash hit FELA! graced
our stages this season. We also continued to present
National Theatre Live, screening productions
directly from the National Theatre in London.
As a part of our 25th anniversary festivities, we
endeavored to recognize Shakespeare’s wide-reaching
influence in a variety of genres and on our greatest
actors. Bard’s Broadway presented two musicals drawing
on Shakespearean works. Sidney Harman Hall played
host to the 1930s musical The Boys from Syracuse,
inspired by The Comedy of Errors, and Two Gentlemen
of Verona: A Rock Opera, which played concurrently
with STC’s mainstage production of the play. I was also
fortunate enough to host some of the most talented
actors of our time, Sir Patrick Stewart, Kevin Kline,
James Earl Jones and Stacy Keach, during Classic
Conversations. Audiences, and I, enjoyed this series
so much that I have decided to continue it past our
anniversary season.
The Theatre celebrated our anniversary by welcoming
back many friends of the company to reflect, dine and
dance at the Harman Center for the Arts Annual Gala.
We also added two initiatives to our already robust
roster of educational programs—District Shakespeare
and Teen Critic. Both of these programs serve as
reminder of the responsibility and privilege we have to
engage with the community.
We would not be here after 25 years without the
generous support of our donors and the Washington
area community. We are proud to advocate for our
mission of classical theatre and our place as a cultural
institution at the service of this great city. It is with your
boundless generosity that we may produce world-class
theatre and extend appreciation of classical works to
all. On behalf of the staff and Board of Trustees of the
Shakespeare Theatre Company, I would like to sincerely
thank the individuals, foundations, corporations and
government entities that have supported us for the past
25 years. I look forward to the journey of the next 25
years with you.
Warmly,
Michael Kahn
Artistic Director

Our Mission
The mission of the Shakespeare Theatre Company is to present classic
theatre of scope and size in an imaginative, skillful and accessible
American style that honors the playwrights’ language and intentions while
viewing their work through a 21st-century lens.
Our Vision
The Shakespeare Theatre Company endeavors to be an important
resource to an expanded national and international community—as the
nation’s premier destination for classic theatre, as a training ground for
the next generation of theatre artists and as a model provider of highquality educational content for students and scholars.
Our Values
We believe:
• that through the power of their language and the timelessness of their themes,
classic plays reflect on the human experience in ways that transcend the
period in which they were conceived and remain relevant in our time.
• that the timelessness of classic plays provides infinite opportunities for
contemporary theatre artists to re-interpret them.
• in staging classic plays with world-class production values.
• in discovering and re-introducing great plays into the classic repertory and
commissioning new translations or adaptations.
• in building a more diverse audience for our theatre.
• in fostering an appreciation for classic theatre through our education
programs.
• in using cutting-edge technology to share our work with people around the
world.
• in supporting and developing actors, directors, designers and artisans who will
make major contributions to the world of theatre for years to come.
• in encouraging a synergy of arts and ideas by developing collaborative
programming with other institutions.
• in bringing the best of the performing arts to our audience by hosting a broad
spectrum of local, national and international arts companies.
• in being responsible stewards of our resources.

Celebrating 25 Years:
PRODUCTIONS
Over the past 25 years, the Shakespeare Theatre
Company has staged more than 150 productions,
including Shakespeare’s entire commonly
recognized canon. Part of our commitment to
classic theatre manifests itself in the ReDiscovery
Series, where lost classics are rediscovered and
rejuvenated. To date, 11 works from this series have
been produced for our mainstage. As a complement
to our mainstage productions, STC is also
committed to bringing award-winning, innovative,
international works to our stages.

AUDIENCES
STC has welcomed more than 2.5 million audience
members to enjoy our productions throughout its
history. During the annual Free For All, more than
640,000 people from the Washington, D.C., area
have experienced free Shakespearean productions
at the end of every summer for more than two
decades. We also invite tens of thousands of
audience members to enjoy free artistically-diverse
programming like Happenings at the Harman and
educational Creative Conversations.

jULIUS CAESAR
by William Shakespeare
directed by Alan Paul
original direction by David Muse
August 18–September 4, 2011
Sidney Harman Hall
Our third Free For All in Sidney Harman Hall
solidified this beloved Washington tradition
in our easily-accessible, indoor and airconditioned home. Alan Paul directed this
enthralling revival of the 2008 production
of Julius Caesar, originally directed by David
Muse. Brimming with stunning rhetoric,
Julius Caesar investigates the intoxicating
effects of power and the dangers of idealism.
The original production received four stars
from The Washingtonian and was hailed as
“majestic” by The Washington Times.
Many original cast members returned to
star in this revival including Aubrey Deeker,
Tom Hammond, Tyrone Henderson and Dan
Kremer. There were also some new additions:
local favorites Rachael Holmes and Naomi
Jacobson. STC provided audiences from all
across the Washington area with 12,608 tickets
to 16 Free For All performances, free of charge!

The Heir Apparent
adapted by David Ives from the comedy
by Jean-François Regnard
“Crackles merrily
from start to finish”
The New York Times
directed by Michael Kahn
September 6–October 23, 2011
Lansburgh Theatre
Based on a neoclassical work all but
unknown in America, this French farce
charmed audiences with rhyming couplets
and squealing pigs. Eraste is hopelessly
in love with Isabelle but he needs the
inheritance from his miserly old uncle
Geronte. Crispin, Eraste’s quick-witted
servant, must don a series of disguises to
ensure that his master is the heir apparent.
This is the tenth work to jump from
the page to the stage thanks to the
Shakespeare Theatre Company’s
ReDiscovery Series, and the second from
critically-acclaimed playwright David Ives.
The Heir Apparent, adapted from JeanFrançois Regnard’s 1708 masterpiece,
follows Ives’ sensational adaptation of
Pierre Corneille’s The Liar. Ives once again
teamed up with Artistic Director Michael
Kahn to rave reviews from audiences
and critics alike. Variety said The Heir
Apparent “underscores the value of STC’s
enterprising ReDiscovery Series as a
vital source for re-envisioned classics for
today’s audiences.” The Heir Apparent
was nominated for The Charles MacArthur
Award for Outstanding New Play—quite a
feat for a play first performed in 1708.
The Heir Apparent was commissioned through the
generous support of The Beech Street Foundation.

Much Ado about Nothing
by William Shakespeare
“[Director Ethan] McSweeny’s
stage business is genius.”
directed by Ethan McSweeny
Washington City Paper
November 25, 2011–January 7, 2012
Sidney Harman Hall
Shakespeare’s timeless romantic comedy
brought Caribbean warmth to the holiday
season. Much Ado About Nothing features
famous bickering lovebirds Benedick
and Beatrice, tricked into marital bliss by
their family and friends. When the young
love of Hero and Claudio is attacked
by the jealous Don John, Beatrice and
Benedick are forced to redress wrongs,
restore Hero’s honor and find their
own tongues false to their hearts.
Ethan McSweeny, acclaimed as “one
of the hottest directors to come out of
Washington” by The Washingtonian,
gave Shakespeare’s wittiest comedy a
rousing and memorable interpretation.
Starring STC favorite Derek Smith as the
slick-talking Benedick and Kathryn Meisle
as the incomparable Beatrice, Much
Ado About Nothing brought holiday joy
to audiences and garnered awards for
the Company. STC Affiliated Artist Ted
Van Griethuysen won the Helen Hayes
Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor
for his performance as the bumbling,
hilarious Dogberry. The show’s design
was recognized with several Helen
Hayes nominations, with a win for Lee
Savage’s Outstanding Set Design.

“lively
The Two Gentlemen of
Verona
and entertaining
production”
by Willliam Shakespeare
Show Biz Radio
directed by PJ Paparelli
January 17–March 24, 2012
Lansburgh Theatre
With a setting in the age of cell phones,
laptops and karaoke machines, The
Two Gentlemen of Verona felt right at
home in our modern world. Best friends
Valentine and Proteus are young and
unpredictable–especially when they both
fall for the same girl. With all parties
heartbroken, including Proteus’ slighted
girlfriend Julia, they run off to escape their
troubles. As quickly as their hearts seem
set to hate, they sway back toward love
for a surprisingly tender and identifiably
Shakespearean comedic ending.
Former STC Associate Director PJ
Paparelli, heralded as “one of the most
exciting talents working in Washington”
by The Washington Post, made his STC
mainstage debut with this modernized
production. Nick Dillenburg’s Proteus
and Andrew Veenstra‘s Valentine
brought beautiful humanity to these
troubled characters, and STC Affiliated
Artist Miriam Silverman’s interpretation
of Julia argued for the character as
Shakespeare’s first comic heroine.
The Two Gentlemen of Verona was

“Michael Kahn
deserves a medal”
Strange Interlude
The Washingtonian
by Eugene O’Neill
directed by Michael Kahn
March 17–April 29, 2012
Sidney Harman Hall
Artistic Director Michael Kahn directed one
of the most critically praised productions of
Washington, D.C.’s Eugene O’Neill Festival
with Strange Interlude. Unfolding over the
course of 25 years, Strange Interlude follows
Nina Leeds’ many lives and loves in the
aftermath of her true love’s death in WWI.
Wracked by guilt and tormented by regret,
Nina marries a man she does not love only
to give him a child by one she does. Since
its premiere in 1928, this controversial and
Pulitzer Prize-winning play has been rarely
produced due to its extreme length of nearly
six hours.
With permission from the O’Neill estate,
Michael Kahn pared down the production
“with a skilled hand” (The New York Times)
to a more manageable, under four-hour
length. Kahn, who chose the show because
of his great respect for O’Neill and lifelong
admiration of the play, has called this work
“one of the most ambitious depictions of
the American experience written between
the two world wars.” Francesca Faridany
won over audiences and critics alike with her
enthralling performance as Nina Leeds.

“deliciously
The Servant of two
Masters
happy-making”
by Carlo Goldoni
The Washington Post
adapted by Constance Congdon
from a translation by Christina Sibul
directed by Christopher Bayes
May 15–July 8, 2012
Lansburgh Theatre
Renowned director and improvisational
comedy guru Christopher Bayes brought
his hilarious commedia dell’arte troupe’s
Goldoni masterpiece, previously staged
at Yale Repertory Theatre, to Washington,
D.C., audiences. When the ever-hungry
harlequin Truffaldino schemes to double
his wages by doubling his masters,
the result is mistaken identities and
sheer, uproarious chaos. The Servant
of Two Masters comes alive on stage
with inspired clowning and age-old
tricks of the theatre that encourage
audiences to rethink surprise.
Steven Epp stars as Truffaldino, drawing
laughs from the audience as he draws
meals from his masters. This 18th-century
classic gave actors the freedom to elicit
laughs however they saw fit and every
night the show was different. Audiences
and critics rolled in the aisles at what The
Washington Post called a “bowlful of joy.”

“Charms universally”
The Merry wives of
Windsor
Metro Weekly
by William Shakespeare
directed by Stephen Rayne
June 12–July 15, 2012
Sidney Harman Hall
Performed as STC’s first ever Free For
All production more than 20 years ago,
The Merry Wives of Windsor made a
triumphant return with a new incarnation.
Falstaff, a knight hurting for money,
schemes to court two wealthy wives at
once. When his plot is discovered, the
shrewd wives exact revenge, bringing
shame to Falstaff and turning Windsor
upside down.
British director Stephen Rayne set
Shakespeare’s only middle-class comedy
in the early 1900s, to close out STC’s
25th Anniversary Season. The production
starred David Schramm as the beloved
Falstaff and Tony Award® nominee Veanne
Cox as Mistress Page. Lavish costumes by
Wade Laboissonniere and an extravagant
set by Daniel Lee Conway perfectly placed
the play in a Downton Abbey-esque
setting. Hailed as “gorgeously staged” by
The Washingtonian, the show punctuated a
diverse season with mischief and laughs.

Many of Shakespeare’s works have made their way into modern popular culture through movies, televisions shows and modern
musicals on Broadway. As part of our 25th anniversary, STC celebrated Shakespeare through song and dance with two musical
interpretations performed in concert-style staging as additions to the regular season. Nearly 6,000 audience members enjoyed
these limited engagements.

Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart adapted Shakespeare’s
The Comedy of Errors into the 1938 musical comedy, The
Boys from Syracuse. The musical staging, featuring a 19-piece

identical twin brothers as they reunite after a childhood
shipwreck separated them. Popular music from the era lifts
the musical with such tunes as “This Can’t Be Love.”

WE ENGAGE AUDIENCES
AND ARTISTS
Community
Engagement
is the source of our strength. In the
2011-2012 Season, the Shakespeare
Theatre Company ensured its place in the
Washington, D.C., community as a cultural
home for audiences and artists. Patrons
were introduced to lost classics, explored
familiar plays and discovered new artists.
In honor of our 25th anniversary, we
introduced an exciting conversation series
with theatrical greats and STC’s Artistic
Director Michael Kahn. STC is proud
of its ability to provide performance
opportunities for local artists by enabling
them to grow their work and enrich the
area’s arts community.

Creative
Conversations
Classic
Conversations
In honor of our 25th anniversary, Artistic Director
Michael Kahn and the Shakespeare Theatre
Company debuted a new series called Classic
Conversations. For four evenings this past season,
Kahn interviewed stage legends about their lives,
careers and love of the craft of acting. The guests
were Sir Patrick Stewart, Kevin Kline, James Earl
Jones and Stacy Keach. More than 2,300 audience
members enjoyed these informal and entertaining
discussions covering everything from the actors’
childhoods to their most challenging classical roles.
Though originally planned as a special event for
the anniversary season, the program elicited such
a positive response from participants and audience
members alike that the series has been added to
STC’s impressive roster of regular events.

The Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Creative
Conversations offer a unique opportunity for
audiences to deeply connect with the work
seen onstage. The discussions approach each
production from multiple perspectives, offering
insight from scholars, artists, cultural leaders and
audience members. Presented in different formats,
Creative Conversations encourage patrons to
learn and offer their own opinions–often inciting
animated debates on everything from themes
of the show to the design of the costumes. This
season, Creative Conversations engaged more than
1,000 patrons.
Windows
These dynamic conversations provided a
“Window” into the creation of the Shakespeare
Theatre Company’s mainstage productions, free of
charge. Along with a local scholar, members of the
production’s artistic team examined the challenges
and themes underlying the plays. Guest scholars
this season included local television and radio
personality Robert Aubry Davis and Dr. Franklin
J. Hildy, the Director of the Shakespeare Globe
Centre (USA) - Research Archive.

Post-SHOW
Discussions
In a partnership with the Virginia Theological
Seminary, STC offered this free discussion series
to explore STC’s productions through a theological
perspective. Reverend Roger Ferlo, Director of
the Virginia Theological Seminary’s Institute for
Christian Formation, was joined by STC’s Audience
Enrichment Manager Hannah J. Hessel to discuss
The Heir Apparent, Much Ado About Nothing, The
Two Gentlemen of Verona and Strange Interlude.
After the performance, audiences got up
close and personal with the artists themselves.
These free discussions allowed patrons to ask
actors about their craft and the experience of
performing. These discussions were led by STC’s
Literary Associate Drew Lichtenberg.
Classics in Context
AsidesLive
Bringing together the city’s leading players
from a variety of disciplines, Classics in Context
allowed panelists and audiences to engage in
lively discussions about the season’s productions
from diverse perspectives. The season’s
panelists were WAMU’s Metro Connection host
Rebecca Sheir, Howard University Classics
professor Norman Sandridge, Reverend Ruth
Hamilton and Americans for the Arts’ Mitch
Menchaca. STC’s Director of Education Samantha
K. Wyer led these free conversations.
This season, the Shakespeare Theatre Company
presented two half-day symposia. These miniconferences allowed patrons to deepen their
understanding of Much Ado About Nothing and
Strange Interlude. Nearly 100 patrons purchased
tickets to attend these morning-long discussions,
where topics ranged from “Changing Times:
Much Ado in Cuba” to “O’Neill Today.” In addition
to scholars, each event also featured members
of the production’s artistic team or director in
conversation about their production. Other noted
guests included Christopher Loar, director of New
York theatre troupe The Neo-Futurists, actor Rick
Foucheux and author Ricardo L. Ortiz.
Fall Arts Preview
The Shakespeare Theatre Company was once again pleased
to host the Fall Arts Preview event at Sidney Harman Hall on
September 10, 2011. The event coincides with the 19th Annual
ARTS ON FOOT festival. More than 1,300 patrons attended
this free, day-long showcase and celebration of the D.C.
artistic community.

Rediscovery
Series
2011-2012 Season
Lansburgh Theatre
This season, more than 1,500 patrons attended
readings as part of the ReDiscovery Series.
The ReDiscovery Series—a favorite for STC and
Washington audiences—proudly presented and
explored more obscure works of theatre and
literature. With a cast of professional actors,
STC provided free staged readings of forgotten
classic works, carefully selected by Artistic
Director Michael Kahn. Several works first
presented in the ReDiscovery Series have gone
on to grace STC’s stages.
This season, the ReDiscovery Series featured:
Marta the Divine by Tirso de Molina (translated
and adapted by Harley Erdman)
Egmont by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
(translated by Michael Hamburger)
Sejanus by Ben Jonson
Emilia Galotti by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (translated by Anna Johanna Gode von Aesch)

VOLUNTEERS
Devoted volunteers were vital to the daily
operations of the Shakespeare Theatre Company.
Volunteers worked in many of our departments,
including administrative, marketing, artistic
and education. During the season, volunteer
ushers were essential as friendly and welcoming
representatives to our theatre patrons. This past
season, STC had more than 1,500 volunteers,
including 75 new ushers. Volunteers also
provided assistance with many special events
and education programs STC hosts, including
our Meet the Cast receptions for each mainstage
show and SHAKESPEARIENCE Student Matinees.
Shakespeare Theatre Company Student
Ambassadors, an initiative created during the
2010-2011 Season, continued to have great
success. Student Ambassadors represented STC
to their fellow students at Washington-area high
schools and universities and spread the word on
campus about STC’s productions, budget-friendly
tickets, special events and audience-enrichment
programming. Student Ambassadors also
volunteered at STC’s annual Free For All and other
community events throughout the season. Thirtysix students represented the Shakespeare Theatre
Company to high schools in D.C., Maryland and
Virginia and universities including American
University, The George Washington University and
the University of Maryland.

defends the future of classical theatre.
During this 25th Anniversary Season,
the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s
Education Department reinforced its
commitment to deepening understanding
of, appreciation for and connection
to classical theatre. The department
continued to offer its dynamic programs to
diverse learners of all ages, strengthening
ties to the greater Washington community.
This anniversary season also saw the start
of exciting new initiatives, including Teen
Critic and District Shakespeare, which
reached all 53 public schools in D.C. Like
all of STC’s Education programs, these
ambitious projects served as conduits to
reach out to new audiences, ignite passion
for the theatre and forge new partnerships
with District of Columbia schools.
Miles Gilburne and Nina Zolt are founding sponsors
of the education programs of the Shakespeare
Theatre Company.

DISTRICT
SHAKESPEARE
This year, STC launched a new communitybuilding initiative to ensure that students in
the District of Columbia had access to the
arts. District Shakespeare reached out to
D.C. Public Schools (DCPS) serving grades
8-12 to provide a classical theatre experience
that encompassed Shakespeare’s artistry and
relevancy for today’s youth.
Organized as an ambitious multi-year initiative
to make classical theatre essential to a
secondary school education. STC launched
phase one in September 2011, using a
grassroots approach to build relationships in
all 53 DCPS secondary schools. STC Affiliated
Teaching Artists brought Shakespeare
to more than 1,500 students by leading
dynamic, thought-provoking workshops in
D.C. classrooms. Participating students and
teachers were introduced to Shakespeare
through an interactive performance-based
approach in one of four subject areas:
language, acting, theatrical design or stage
combat. The curriculum for each workshop
was uniquely designed to complement
the needs of each individual school, and
workshops were provided free of charge.

SHAKESPEARIENCE
In the 2011-2012 Season, the SHAKESPEARIENCE Student
Matinee Program gave teachers and students the chance
to experience the thrill of live performance—for many,
for the first time. Designed to allow greater access to
classical theatre and the dramatic arts for educators
and their students in D.C., Maryland and Virginia, the
program offered price-reduced tickets, preparatory
materials and in-school workshops. STC also provided
supplemental materials to all who attended, free of charge.
This past season, STC offered 16 SHAKESPEARIENCE
Student Matinees and more than 6,000 students
attended The Heir Apparent, Much Ado About Nothing,
The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Petrushka and The
Servant of Two Masters. Free in-school performance
workshops in all schools were an essential part of the
SHAKESPEARIENCE program. STC staff and Affiliated
Teaching Artists taught 150 pre- and post-performance
workshops to a total of 4,000 students this season.
SHAKESPEARIENCE provided the opportunity for
students to engage with the Bard’s work off the page
and out of the classroom. STC gave students who
may have never been exposed to classical theatre on
the stage an avenue through which to deepen their
understanding of these texts. Live performances
breathed new life into the language and excited students
about learning. This season’s SHAKESPEARIENCE
gave students a living breathing encounter with
Shakespeare and a thirst to attend theatre again.
SHAKESPEARIENCE Student Matinees are part of Shakespeare
for a New Generation, a national program of the National
Endowment for the Arts in cooperation with Arts Midwest.
Additional support for SHAKESPEARIENCE Student Matinees
has been provided by the Marshall B. Coyne Foundation and the
George Preston Marshall Foundation.

TEXT ALIVE!
Text Alive! continued to help students unlock
Shakespeare’s plays through a performancebased curriculum. Over ten workshops, students
closely examined one of Shakespeare’s text in
their classrooms with STC Affiliated Teaching
Artists. They also attended a SHAKESPEARIENCE
Student Matinee of that play. As a culminating
project, the students designed, rehearsed and
performed a Shakespearean scene onstage at
both of our theatres. Teachers also participated
in professional development workshops, which
provided them with the tools necessary to
successfully integrate the study of Shakespeare
into their classrooms. The program supported
English and Theatre standards of learning in D.C.,
Maryland and Virginia.
Text Alive! worked with 29 classrooms, over
two semesters, reaching 17 teachers and 655
students. Priority was given to public schools
in the District of Columbia and suburban
schools with high economic disadvantage rates.
During the 2011-2012 school year, 64% of the
14 participating schools were underserved.

at the annual Shakespeare Theatre Company
Free For All for student groups. Students For
Shakespeare groups enjoyed six performances
of the Free for All production of Julius Caesar this
season. Upon arrival at the theatre, the groups
were recognized by name from the stage before
each performance. Title I schools were eligible to

Educational
Guides
To help foster a richer understanding of the
season’s plays, the Shakespeare Theatre
Company Education Department produced The
Guide to the Season Plays and First Folio: Teacher
and Student Resource Guides. The Guide was
made available to all audience members through
the STC’s website.
The First Folio: Teacher and Student Resource
Guide offered educators and students an
approachable lens to each production. The
First Folio provided information about the plays
and the playwrights, including a plot synopsis,
background information on the world and the
characters of the play, pre-and post-performance
activity ideas and questions for discussion
to better prepare students to attend the
performances. Nationally-recognized Common
Core Standards were integrated into The First
Folio to make classroom integration even easier.
The First Folio was made available to every
audience member for download on STC’s website.
Specially created for the Free For All
production, The Free For All Play Guide gave
students of all ages the tools to understand
the Bard’s language. This season’s Play Guide
for Julius Caesar included a synopsis of the
play, words from the director, theatre-related
word games and discussion questions.

CAMP
SHAKESPEARE
Camp Shakespeare had its highest participation
numbers ever—giving 268 students, ages
9 to 18, a magical and intensive classical
theatre experience. In each camp, young
participants played, explored and deepened
their understanding of Shakespeare through
classes in acting, movement, stage combat
and text analysis. Students also developed
and performed a play on the Lansburgh
Theatre stage, where they showcased their
knowledge and talent for family and friends.
To ensure that all students, regardless of
socio-economic background, had a chance
to be a part of Camp Shakespeare, STC
provided more than $6,000 in scholarships.
In addition to the two-week sessions, STC
offered Advanced Camp: a rigorous session
for talented teens ages 14 to 18. In Advanced
Camp, participants had the chance to rehearse
and perform a full Shakespeare play. After
three weeks of rehearsal, campers mounted a
final performance of The Winter’s Tale in The
Forum in Sidney Harman Hall, complete with full
technical support.

ARTISTS IN THE
CLASSROOM
Artists in the Classroom residencies brought the
Shakespeare Theatre Company into local schools.
These customized classes are designed with
teachers to create an arts-integrated workshop
series led by STC Teaching Artists that are
specific for each classroom. Residencies address
Common Core standards for Language Arts and
Theatre by exploring Shakespeare’s text through
performance. Workshops aim to challenge
students to actively engage with the language,
plot and themes as it relates to their other
studies. This season, the Shakespeare Theatre
Company provided 14 Artist in the Classroom
residencies, reaching almost 2,000 students from
elementary-age to high-school level.

Classes
The Shakespeare Theatre Company continued to
offer a wide variety of classes taught by working
professionals. This year’s teaching artists included
Floyd King, Naomi Jacobson, Andrew Long,
Nancy Robinette and Craig Wallace—actors often
seen on STC’s stages. Classes allow students the
opportunity to feed their love of theatre and study
the craft in a way that is accessible to everyone.
This season, Master Acting Classes engaged 360
teens and adults from all over the Washington
metropolitan area. Classes serve a diverse
student body, ranging from early career actors
to suburban teens to business administrators
and government employees. In each session
STC Affiliated Teaching Artists helped students
explore a variety of disciplines, including voice
and movement, text analysis, stage combat and
Shakespeare monologues.

Program
This season more than 1,000 early career theatre
artists, technicians and professionals from all
over the country, and the world, competed for
a spot as an intern or fellow at the Shakespeare
Theatre Company. Interns and fellows work
with respected theatre professionals and are
treated as full members of the STC staff. STC
interns and fellows follow a packed full-time
schedule and receive a weekly stipend to help
offset living expenses. This season, 26 early
career artists and professionals, travelling from
as far away as Texas, California and Colorado,
joined the Company in artistic, administrative
and production departments. Past interns and
fellows have been hired as STC staff, and others
are pursuing their careers at other top artistic
institutions. Alumni have gone on to work or
study at such notable organizations as New York
City Ballet and Yale School of Drama.

TEEN CRITIC
This season, STC Education launched a
new program for young writers, Teen Critic.
Designed for high school students interested in
journalism and critical writing, the Teen Critic
Program taught students how to view theatrical
productions with a critical eye and compose their
own theatre reviews. Eleven teens from schools
across D.C., Virginia and Maryland were accepted
into the program from a competitive pool of
applicants.
For each production, the Teen Critics were
invited to see the show on Press Night alongside
professional journalists. To hone their writing
skills, the students participated in writing
intensives and met with top theatre critics from
across the D.C. area, including Chris Klimek of
the Washington City Paper and Peter Marks of
The Washington Post. The teens’ reviews were
then shared in school newspapers and posted on
STC’s Asides Online.

ACADEMY FOR
CLASSICAL ACTING
The Shakespeare Theatre Company’s one-year
Academy for Classical Acting is a unique graduate
course of study which confers Master of Fine Arts
degrees in Classical Acting through The George
Washington University.
This season’s 12 member class of 2012 marked
the 12th anniversary of ACA graduates. In all, 178
talented graduates have gone on to grace many
of the best stages, including the Shakespeare
Theatre Company, The Kennedy Center, the
Folger Theatre, Arena Stage, Guthrie Theater,
Goodman Theatre, the Oregon Shakespeare
Festival and more than 200 others across
the country.
Every summer, the ACA performs two classical
plays in repertory as part of the students’ final
projects. In June 2012, the ACA staged All’s Well
That Ends Well and The Atheist’s Tragedy.
ACA students greatly benefit from the growing
scholarship support of the Emerging Classical
Artists Fund. The large amount of work—both
in and outside of the classroom—that the
demanding ACA curriculum requires prevents
degree candidates from working during their
tenure at The George Washington University.
To assist in curbing the costs associated with
pursuing their MFA, the Emerging Classical Artists
Fund provides merit awards to ACA students to
support them while they earn their degrees. The
Fund endeavors to ensure the future of classical
theatre in America by sustaining the training of
the next generation of classical actors.

This season marked the 10th anniversary
of Will on the Hill, an event designed

The 2012 Will on the Hill event made it clear
why this event has been such a success for
a decade. A sold-out crowd filled Sidney
Harman Hall, contributing more than
$400,000 for the Shakespeare Theatre
Company’s education and community
enrichment programs.
This season’s event featured Emmy
Award® winner Richard Schiff, Tony®
Award-nominated actress Veanne Cox,
and nearly 20 members of Congress and
a member of British Parliament. The play,
Speak the Speech, I Pray You!, was written
specifically for this season’s Will on the Hill
by playwright Peter Byrne. The audience
entered the world of a derailed benefit
performance of Romeo and Juliet. The
director and stage manager had to make
the show go on while the fictionalized
Washington luminaries would not discard
their agendas or ambitions. Guests also
enjoyed a pre-show performance of scenes
from Much Ado About Nothing by students
from STC’s Text Alive! program.

Mock Trial
Ado, I do, Adieu: Claudio v Hero
Monday, April 30, 2012
Sidney Harman Hall
It’s not every day that Supreme Court
Justices reference Kim Kardashian,
especially in the same case as President
Obama’s health care law, but that’s why
the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s
annual Mock Trial is always sold out! This
season’s case, Ado, I do, Adieu: Claudio v
Hero, followed the aftermath of Claudio
and Hero’s happy wedding. After three
months of marriage, Lady Hero of Messina
files a complaint for absolute divorce from
her husband, Count Claudio in the Superior
Court of Messina, seeking inter alia, return
of her dowry, division of marital property
(specifically, their opulent wedding gifts)
and permanent alimony. She claimed
he is easily angered and irrational; he
claimed she hoards her trust fund and has
abandoned her duties as his wife.
A special session of the Supreme Court
of Messina was convened to hear Hero’s
claim, presided over by Justice Ruth
Bader Ginsburg with Justice Samuel
Alito, Justice Elena Kagan, Judge Merrick
Garland, Judge Douglas Ginsburg
and Judge Brett Kavanaugh serving
on the panel. The event was a big hit
with members of the Shakespeare
Theatre Company’s Bard Association
enjoying exclusive access to tickets.

STEVEN EPP
Emery Battis Award
for Acting Excellence
Sidney Harman Hall
Named for beloved Shakespeare Theatre Company actor Emery Battis, this
annual honor recognizes two actors whose work in a mainstage production
demonstrated outstanding classical technique. The award, funded by an
anonymous donor, includes a cash prize. The selection committee carefully
considered each performance of the 2011-2012 Season to choose the two most
deserving awardees.
This season’s awardees represented the comedic side of the 25th Anniversary
Season. Carson Elrod was honored for his hilarious portrayal of Crispin in
Michael Kahn’s production of The Heir Apparent. Elrod most recently starred on
Broadway in the Tony Award®-winning Peter and the Starcatcher. The Company
also paid tribute to Steven Epp, who gave a masterful performance as the crafty
servant Truffaldino in The Servant of Two Masters. Epp is the former Co-Artistic
Director of Theatre de la Jeune Lune in Minneapolis, which was the winner of
the 2005 Regional Theatre Tony Award®. The Shakespeare Theatre Company
congratulates both actors on their extraordinary accomplishments.
