Orlando Shakespeare Theater Season 35
Orlando Shakespeare Theater's Signature Series in Season 35 was a celebration of storytelling, history, and musical brilliance, designed to captivate and inspire audiences with a diverse range of productions. The Signature Series opened with Million Dollar Quartet, a high-energy jukebox musical that brought to life the legendary recording session with Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins. We followed with Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors, a fast-paced, hilarious tale of mistaken identity and farcical confusion, reminding audiences of the timeless joy of classic comedy. Our season continued with Boulevard of Bold Dreams, a powerful new play that explored the untold story behind Hattie McDaniel's historic Oscar win, highlighting themes of resilience and representation in the entertainment industry. Henry 6, Part 1 marked the beginning of an ambitious journey into Shakespeare's history plays, delving into themes of war, power, and the making of a king. For a provocative and thrilling theatrical experience, Venus in Fur brought a modern, meta-theatrical exploration of gender, power, and seduction. Finally, we closed the season with Ain't Misbehavin', a vibrant, toe-tapping tribute to the Harlem Renaissance and the legendary Fats Waller, celebrating the rich history of jazz and Black artistry. This season was curated to offer a dynamic mix of classical, contemporary, and musical theater, ensuring a compelling experience for all audiences. From history and Shakespeare to laughter and music, Season 35 honored the past while embracing bold new stories for the future.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJun 1, 2023 – May 31, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$2.3MSeason 35 Community Engagement Programming
