What's onstage at Shakespeare theaters in April

Greta Lambert in “Into the Breeches” at Alabama Shakespeare Festival.

Shakespeare was born on April 23 (we think), which makes April the perfect month to catch one of his plays at a theater near you. We checked in with some of our theater partners to find out what they have onstage. What play are you planning to see?

We hope to see Glenda Jackson in King Lear, as soon as we can. As for future birthday celebrations, I have written a trilogy of full-length plays about the life of Shakespeare. The plays have gotten high-quality staged readings at The Players Club, The National Arts Club (NYC), and the first play was the talk of the festival in 2014 at The Utah Shakespeare Festival. I am striving to find a producer for fully produced presentations of these works which have been called “magic” and “instant classics.” They will be reviewed this fall in The Shakespeare Newsletter. Thank you. Please contact me if you would like to see a sample, a full script, or synopses. Thanks again. MJS
