Enjoy Shakespeare Under the Stars at USJ

Pericles, Prince of Tyre 2018

Each year Capital Classics brings outdoor Shakespeare to the University of Saint Joseph's beautiful campus.

About the festival:

This July, Capital Classics is staging the Bard’s romantic and epic adventure tale, Pericles, Prince of Tyre, complete with tyrant king, wicked stepmother, young heroine, shipwrecks and pirates. Over its three-weekend run, the Greater Hartford Shakespeare Festival attracts more than 2,000 fans, who turn out —with their lawn chairs, blankets and picnic baskets — for this joyous outdoor theatre tradition. Directed by David McHamish, this annual outdoor Shakespeare festival is the perfect way to spend a summer evening with your family or a date night with someone special.

It is the perfect thing for a warm summer night to bring the family or a date to and enjoy a picnic on the grass along with some hilarious and high-quality Shakespeare.
