Coming This Summer

Join us for our 23rd season of Shakespeare under the stars!

The Winter's Tale — a fantastical fable with kings and queens, long-lost children, destructive passions, and miracles borne through the redemptive power of love.

Playing July 25–August 11, 2013 on the University of Saint Joseph campus.
