A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by Melora Marshall & Kellen McDaniel

June 11th – September 21st, 2023

Theatricum returns with its signature production that infuses Shakespeare’s beautiful language with music and song to heighten the pleasure.  The most magical outdoor setting in Los Angeles is an enchanted forest inhabited by lovers from both fairy and human.  Shakespeare conjures a world of wonder magic and romance where comical misunderstandings and the pain of unrequited love are resolved, and all is reconciled through midsummer night revelries and the enduring power of nature.

Pay What You Will ticket pricing is available for the 3:30pm performance on July 9th. A prologue discussion with the cast will take place before the show at 2:30pm on July 2nd.

Queen Margaret’s Version of Shakespeare’s War of the Roses

Written by William Shakespeare
Directed & Compiled by Ellen Geer

June 24th – October 1st, 2023

What compels those who rule to make war, and not love?  The pendulum swings, and a petty universe of leaders works alone, ignoring the needs of those they supposedly govern.  Human values erode as governments vying for power overtake the mere living of life. Theatricum’s production encompassing Henry VI Part I, II, III, and Richard III centers on Queen Margaret and the women and children of Shakespeare’s civil war saga.

Pay What You Will ticket pricing is available for the 7:30pm performance on August 18th. A prologue discussion with the cast will take place before the show at 6:30pm on August 12th.
