Nestled in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, the American Shakespeare Center (ASC) brings to life an authentic repertory theatre experience, performing Shakespeare’s timeless works alongside modern classics and bold new adaptations.

Don’t just watch theatre—immerse yourself in it. As you take your seat, our actors fill the Playhouse with live music, performing popular songs from our time, just as they would have in Shakespeare’s day. 

At ASC, Shared Light connects actor and audience, illuminating every moment—creating a unique and intimate experience where you can see one another and watch the story unfold.

Since its founding, ASC has served as a beacon of artistic innovation, empowering education, building community, and fostering accessibility. We’re a theatre where you become part of the performance.

Bid on this today and watch Shakespeare’s works come alive through performance, conversation, and shared discovery. You will not see a Shakespeare performance like this anywhere else!
