Actors' Shakespeare Project is pleased to announce its 2011 - 2012 Season. This will be the eighth season for the roving Shakespeare company, who work throughout Boston, Cambridge, and Somerville, and are based at the Somerville Armory. Artistic Director Allyn Burrows has just announced that ASP will cast off with a journey to IIlyria with Shakespeare's wonderfully lyrical comedy of yearning and mistaken identity, Twelfth Night (or What You Will), directed by Melia Bensussen (who previously directed ASP's The Taming of the Shrew and The Merchant of Venice).

Actors' Shakespeare Project (ASP) dives into 2011 with The Winter Festival, three productions that celebrate language, storytelling and company. The Winter Festival begins with Cymbeline (February 9 - February 20), directed by company member Doug Lockwood. Following Cymbeline is The Hotel Nepenthe (February 25 - March 6) written by company member John Kuntz, winner of the 2010 Elliot Norton award for Best New Play (The Salt Girl), and directed by David R. Gammons. Finally, closing the festival is Living in Exile (March 9 - March 20) written by local playwright Jon Lipsky and directed by ASP Artistic Director Allyn Burrows. The Winter Festival will be housed at a new venue for ASP: The Storefront on Elm in the heart of Davis Square (255 Elms Street) in Somerville.
