Brown Box Theatre Project's Shakespeare Massachusetts Tour Begins This Friday

Brown Box Theatre Project, Boston's premiere outdoor Shakespeare touring company, returns to Massachusetts from August 6-29, 2021 for the company's 10th Annual Shakespeare tour!

Brown Box's largest tour to date spans 3 regions across the US from Indiana to Massachusetts to Delmarva, featuring free outdoor performances of the comedy Much Ado About Nothing, and a series of "Page to Stage" library workshops exploring Shakespeare's world and words. Under the direction of Executive Artistic Director and Co-Founder Kyler Taustin, Shakespeare's beloved comedy of trickery, deceit, and masquerade comes alive in each location through the talents of a diverse, international cast of classically trained performers.

All Much Ado About Nothing performances are free, outdoors, and open to all audiences; no tickets are needed. The company's expanded 10th Annual 2021 Summer Tour in Massachusetts brings Shakespeare to 13 outdoor stages and 4 educational workshops at libraries across the region. Social distancing through lawn seating, blankets and lawn chairs are welcome. Much Ado About Nothing will be fully staged in each location, featuring professional artists, designers, and actors. Please visit http://www.brownboxtheatre.org for full performance schedule and rain locations. All library workshops are free and open to the public; some are in-person and some are virtual. Please see each library's website for information and registration.

Since 2010 Brown Box Theatre Project has been committed to reinventing the way theatre is created and consumed, by transforming public spaces into vibrant cultural and tourist destinations. Brown Box has perfected the art of the tour; through unique partnerships with local and state organizations, Brown Box delivers outdoor programming and educational workshops that engage and inspire. Brown Box's touring Shakespeare events include professionally designed sets, lighting, costumes and props, performed by skilled regional actors. Each program is built, performed, and packed away at each location!
