Neil Bartlett News

The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey will present six Main Stage productions and the world's most famous comedy on its famed Outdoor Stage during its 49th Anniversary Season, the Theatre announced today. 'Our season theme this year is 'Follow the Gleam' borrowed from a poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson,' said Artistic Director Bonnie J. Monte, who is beginning her third decade as the leader of The Shakespeare Theatre. 'Together, these three words create a mysterious and mystical directive. We invite our audiences to follow the gleams of shimmering light - both literal and metaphorical-that will emanate from all our stages this year!'
