Smith Street Stage Announces Tenth Season

Smith Street Stage (Beth Ann Hopkins, founding Artistic Director), the award-winning Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn-based theatre company, announced its planned tenth season for 2019. Among the productions planned are the tenth consecutive mounting of its cornerstone Shakespeare in Carroll Park production (an outdoor production of Romeo and Juliet, directed by Shaun Bennet Fauntleroy), and the company's first foray into long-running indoor theatre in Manhattan (Lear's Shadow, an original production devised by Beth Ann Hopkins and Elliot Roth from Shakespeare's King Lear, running at the Jeffrey and Paula Gural Theatre).

Additions to the company's 2019 lineup will be an April staging of The Artists, a new play by Noah Mease, produced by Katie Willmorth, based on the story of the Rude Mechanicals from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, and a May production of Little Women, a new adaptation of the novel by Louisa May Alcott by Hannah Sloat.

Smith Street Stage is the proud honoree of three New York Innovative Theater Awards: Outstanding Ensemble for Much Ado About Nothing and Outstanding Revival for both Much Ado About Nothing & The Tempest.
