Rockland Shakespeare Company

Rockland Shakespeare Company Rockland Shakespeare Company: Bringing Arts and Education to our Community since 1998 They succeeded.

1998
RCC honored William Shakespeare with a semester of cross-departmental festivities that year. The Performing Arts Department (Now the Visual and Performing Arts), headed by Patricia Maloney-Titland was integral in rounding out the performance aspect of the springtime dedication to the most influential writer in the English language, William Shakespeare. This year also saw the beginning of the

annual outdoor summer Shakespeare production created by Artistic Directors/Founders – Patricia Maloney-Titland & Christopher Plummer and the Performing Arts Department. The kick-off production of Romeo and Juliet was a truly ambitious and worthwhile endeavor. The fledging, but passionate group of Actors, Directors and Shakespeare enthusiasts attempted something that has never been done here at RCC or in Rockland County - Bringing the Bard to the community for free. After these many decades, our mission remains a challenging and exciting task for the Rockland Shakespeare Company, one that is looked upon as fulfilling and ultimately vital for the community. We are the longest-running Shakespeare Company in Rockland County and our productions are free to all who wish to attend and experience the words and passions of one of the greatest writers of all time. Bringing important insight and culture to the community, as well as artistic education to the students of Rockland Community College, we offer our productions free for all who wish to learn and enjoy classic literature performed. So join us, if you will, as we continue our tribute to the Bard here at Rockland Community College, with Rockland County and with you, our noble audience.
“The actors are at hand and by their show you shall know all that you are like to know.”

"All the world's a stage..."

Come out and join the award-winning Rockland Shakespeare Company as we present to you our 29th season!

Shakespeare's pastoral comedy, As You Like It, follows Rosalind, and her cousin Celia, as they flee persecution and find safety, and eventually, love, in the Forest of Arden. In the forest they encounter a variety of memorable characters that will leave a lasting impression on audiences as they join our heroine on this journey.

Set against a modern political backdrop, Julius Caesar tells a story of conspiracy, betrayal, ambition, and power. As Caesar's growing ambition begins to worry Brutus, Cassius convinces him to join in a plot to assassinate Caesar. They soon learn that they have sorely underestimated Mark Antony, and find themselves entangled in a civil war for Rome's future.

The Rockland Shakespeare Company is proud to present our 29th Season of FREE Shakespeare. Please join us at Rockland Community College in the Cultural Arts Center Theatre for these two performances. Seating is limited and will be on a first-come-first-serve basis.

All performances begin at 7:00pm

As You Like It - July 10, 12 & 18
Julius Caesar - July 11, 17 & 19

Thank you for an incredible first night of auditioning for the 29th season of the Rockland Shakespeare Company!

THURSDAY (IMPORTANT!!!)
If you were planning on auditioning this evening, we have had to postpone the second round of auditions.
For those registered to audition on Thursday. Due to a major event at the college all day on Friday, we have had to postpone the Thursday auditions.
