  • The Eleven We Missed?

    A reading

    On Sunday, July 20, we will be sharing a reading of a brand new play and we’d like you to join us.

    2026 marks our 60th anniversary as a producer of Shakespeare. In our research over the plays we’ve produced during that time, we discovered that, out of the 37 plays in the Shakespeare Canon, we’ve produced (in one fashion or another) 26 of them. For a company that did not set out to complete the canon, this is pretty cool. So Luther Hanson, Festival Director, took on a project to turn those eleven plays in a brand new play. Feedback is key to a plays evolution, and we’d love to have yours!

    What: By Looking Back What I Have Left Behind: A Brief Journey Through Eleven Plays We Missed.

    When: Sunday, July 20, 2025 at 7:00 pm
    Where: Art Court Theatre at Sacramento City Campus.
