We are so grateful to the many Shakespeare fans who showed up to see our special smattering of the Bard’s works. We were grateful to have received a standing ovation and for many the wonderful words and gleaming expressions shared with us after the show.

One attendee said…

“The show was a fast-paced, sparkling mix of scenes showcasing Shakespeare’s vast range as well as the actors’ gifts. I enjoyed the intimate setting, the playful introduction, and the commentary woven throughout. Many of the actors were true stars who could quickly suck you into a five-minute scene and leave you wanting more.”

What more could we ask for?

While this is likely the final NIGHTS of VILLEINY installment in 2025, there are already plans brewing for next year, and other opportunities coming up in the meantime.
