"There is Throats to be cut, and Works to be done."
Focusing on the events prior to and following the famous Battle of Agincourt, HENRY V tells the story of one of Britain’s greatest kings – and the man behind the title. The final piece of Prince Hal’s story first played out in HENRY IV, parts 1 & 2 (Award-Winning MSF production from 2015) where we saw the wild and angry young man as he grew into a leader of men. One of Shakespeare’s most famous histories, HENRY V features some of the most famous scenes and speeches in the cannon.
Featuring Sam Hubbard as Henry V

"Setting the attractions of my good parts aside I have no other charms."
Mistress Page and Mistress Ford have a very large problem – a drunken rogue who won’t leave them alone. Sir John Falstaff is short of money and on the hunt for a lady willing to take him on and pay his bills. The ladies get together and hatch a hilarious plan to thwart the pest – if only their husbands are able to stay out of the way. THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR is famously the result of Queen Elizabeth I demanding that Shakespeare write a play featuring Falstaff (from HENRY IV, parts 1 & 2) falling in love – and how else could such a request play out?

"How do you do. I am Charley’s aunt from Brazil, where the nuts come from."
Jack and Charley have fallen in love with Kitty and Amy – who are being sent away to Scotland by Amy’s Uncle – who is also Kitty’s guardian. The boys invite their loves to lunch – where they intend to declare their intentions and to meet Charley’s slightly eccentric Aunt Donna Lucia D’Alvadorez. What follows is a wacky, silly, romantic comedy full of starchy relatives, clever servants, and Lord Fancourt Babberley. CHARLEY’S AUNT was a sensation upon opening, running 1,466 performances—come take a break this summer and join us for the mayhem.
Featuring Festival Favorite Edmund Alyn Jones as Jack and Daniel Millhouse as Babs.
