Shakespeare in the Parking Lot

To celebrate William Shakespeare's 457th birthday on Friday, The Drilling Company is hosting two nights of free Shakespeare performances outdoors in the parking lot of The Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural & Educational Center (107 Suffolk Street). Each night, which will consist of a collection of speeches, scenes, sonnets and songs, will be limited to 50 people. "It’s essential to get our theater professionals back to work and to bring live theater safely back to the City. Who better to lead the way than William Shakespeare?" asks Hamilton Clancy, the artistic director of The Drilling Company. Of course, masks and temperature checks will be required and social distancing will be observed. Admission is free but on a first-come-first-served basis so registration is strongly recommended.
