Each Wednesday at 7:30 p.m., Shakespeare Theatre Company's Artistic Director Simon Godwin and Resident Dramaturg Drew Lichtenberg lead an online tour through every corner of the Shakespeare universe. Special guests-acclaimed actors, visionary directors, and esteemed scholars-will be announced weekly. The sessions are free for STC members, season subscribers, and package holders, and only $10 per session for non-members.

Shakespeare Hour LIVE! is one of the elements of Shakespeare Everywhere, a new platform for engaging with audiences through digital offerings and innovative new content. While the theatres remain closed, STC's staff have been busy reimagining STC as a virtual theatre organization. Shakespeare Everywhere will allow STC to share the inspiration of the classics in homes throughout the District and across the globe.
