The 2024/25 season will include: Lord of the Flies, The Father, Jesus Christ Superstar, Cyrano De Bergerac, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
“This might be one of the most exciting seasons we’ve ever had,” says artistic director James Ricks. “In this year’s season, we will be producing a diverse collection of plays written in the Renaissance era, the Victorian age, the twentieth century, as well as the 21st century.
According to Ricks, each production addresses the very human problem of finding a collective voice. “Whether it’s in the face of adversity, of consensus, or even our own personal limitations, finding that voice helps us not only forge our own identities, but also our fortunes Sometimes those fortunes are magnificent, and sometimes catastrophic.”
Managing director Jase Smith Sullivan says venues in the Richmond area are booked . “We are thrilled to return to our outstanding venues at Dominion Energy Center’s Gottwald Playhouse, The Steward School’s Cramer Center for the Arts, and Agecroft Hall,” says Smith Sullivan, who adds that Richmond Shakespeare is expanding its partnerships to present a show at Virginia Repertory Theatre’s Theatre Gym this season.
“Ranging from the versatile Gottwald, the intimate Theatre Gym black box, the magnificent Cramer Center proscenium, and the stately Agecroft outdoor courtyard, each space offers a unique experience,” says Smith Sullivan. “With our diverse season and venues, we truly have something for everyone to enjoy.”
