Traveling Shakespeare...

The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey's Next Stage Ensemble is a summer training program that helps students refine their skills in voice and movement while also providing them the opportunity to perform in hour-long productions. The touring company also helps bring Shakespeare to the people, especially those who may not be able to travel. Performances are held in libraries, community centers, bookstores, summer camps, retirement communities, and schools.

This year, the Next Stage Ensemble is staging The Tempest and The Comedy of Errors. Check out the schedule to learn when the Ensemble might be in your area, such as the upcoming Picnic Series performance on July 15. Pack a lunch and enjoy an afternoon with the Bard at F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre on the campus of Drew University.
