Guide to the Season's Plays

Each season the Education Department prepares a comprehensive Guide to the Season’s Plays, featuring insightful essays by local scholars, detailed synopses of the plays, photos and graphic materials from past productions, biographies on the playwrights, a season overview and a topical overview pertaining to ours and Shakespeare’s world.

The Guide is available for purchase online (click here to purchase) and in the Lansburgh Theatre and Harman Hall gift shops, as well as after performances of Happenings at the Harman. Shakespeare Theatre Company season subscribers may purchase the Guide at a discounted rate. In conjunction with Asides, the Guide provides a full set of tools to appreciate the artists of the Shakespeare Theatre Company and the performances on our stage.

First Folio: Teacher Curriculum Guides

First Folio: Teacher Curriculum Guides are designed to complement attendance at SHAKESPEARIENCE performances and all School Programs. For the 2009-2010 season, First Folio Guides will be developed for As You Like It, Henry V, Richard II and The Liar. First Folio Guides prepare students to attend the performance by providing information about the play and the playwright, 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. The design allows teachers to easily incorporate the material into the classroom. First Folio Guides are sent to all teachers participating in programs with the Education Department.
