Folger Theatre will open its 2025–26 season with Julius X: A Re-envisioning of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, written by Al Letson, directed by Nicole Brewer, and starring Brandon Carter in the title role.

American Shakespeare Center (ASC) finishes its 35th Anniversary Season and its celebration of the 400th Anniversary of Shakespeare's First Folio with a flourish, with vivid portrayals of two of Shakespeare's most complex and compelling characters: the bitter, tortured prince Hamlet and the proud, relentless warrior Coriolanus.
