Each month, we reach out to our theater partners across the US to see what they have onstage. This month, we visit Comedies of Errors in San Francisco and Annapolis, check in on the North American premiere of Nell Gwynn in Chicago, and get ready for plays by Shakespeare’s contemporaries in the Mid-Atlantic.
