This is top-level theater, with superb acting. Try and snag tickets to a play here, for the productions are reliably outstanding. Season subscriptions claim many of the seats and the plays almost always sell out, so if you're interested in attending a play here, you'd better buy your tickets now. This internationally renowned classical ensemble company offers five plays, usually three Shakespearean and two modern classics each September-to-June season. The 2003-04 season includes Henry IV, Parts I and II, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Cyrano de Bergerac, by Edmond Rostand, and Sheridan's The Rivals. The theater is collaborating with the Kennedy Center, during the Center's Tennessee Williams Festival (see the Kennedy Center write-up), to produce an evening of five one-act plays by Williams, four of them world premieres.
The company also offers one admission-free 2-week run of a Shakespeare production at the Carter Barron Amphitheater in Rock Creek Park.
