Loving children are actually murderous sociopaths; oblivious fools possess more wisdom than their betters; and the man you kiss today may not know who you are tomorrow. Is anyone what they seem? Identity is the question on the mind of this year's Shakespeare Festival at Tulane, and we would like to invite you to join us in our search for the answer with our two mainstage offerings: King Lear and The Comedy of Errors. Once again we have set our productions in New Orleans, because where better to ask questions about identity than in a city with a thousand identities of its own?

Also on stage this summer, our All Things Shakespeare! training program for middle and high school students will present Much Ado About Nothing. And on our Lagniappe Stage we’re pleased to present Fighting With Two Hands, an original piece by Helen Jaksch.

We hope you'll join us for our 16th season of professional theatre, and we look forward to seeing you in the audience!
