Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances are SOLD OUT.

Once more upon a midnight dreary, Delaware Shakespeare opens many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore during “Shakespeare, Poe & Fiends!” This autumnal tradition is a night designed to fright and delight, as our actors share gothic tales from prose, poetry and plays inside four historic locations around Delaware, including one brand-new venue for 2018, the Old State House in Dover. Join us as we usher in the spooky season and transport you to a world of literary spirits and specters not far from our own.

The evening lasts approximately one hour. All tickets $18.

Leap of Faith Creates Memorable MUCH ADO

For Delaware Shakespeare, one of the highlights of the summer was incorporating eight area faith leaders into the performance each night as “Friar Francis.” How did they feel their professional theatre debuts? We asked! “I’ve been on stage, I’ve done that,” said Bishop Todd Townsend of The Resurrection Center. “But with Shakespeare, I’ve been bit. […]

This year, we want to give everyone a chance to get in on the fun — no matter which day you choose to come out to the park! Pretty […]
