We are heartbroken, but we will return when we can do so safely!

Onset is an historic Victorian waterfront community in the Town of Wareham, Massachusetts on the shores of Buzzards Bay. Built in the 1800s as a self-sufficient resort community, most of the original storefronts and cottages remain, allowing it to retain the Victorian charm of the era. Its location....

How did our first weekend of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing Tour go, you ask?

Well, imagine this: you're in the park doing a final dress before you open and two little girls are passing by with their mom and stay for the rest of the rehearsal and laugh, giving you back so much energy. Or, a little boy decides he's going to help you set up your tent and comes to watch all three shows at the venue and asks a million questions about theatre and Shakespeare; or sometimes two little ones watch the show from a blanket as if they've never been so transfixed by anything else in the world.

That is the power of live theatre. That is the power of Shakespeare and all you need is a photo to put things into perspective for you.

Our tour itinerary is in the above event! We'll see you there!
