The ultimate tale of transformation, A Christmas Carol transports miserly Ebenezer Scrooge high above the streets of Victorian London, where Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future haunt his dreams…accomplishing in one fateful night what a lifetime of grasping and greed could not do: the warming of his cold, cold heart.

Join ASC this December for our favorite holiday tradition—an annual production of Charles Dickens’ beloved classic, a festive treat to be enjoyed by families and friends of all ages.


A Christmas Carol 2024

American Shakespeare Center's Blackfriars Playhouse

Embark on a delightful journey of mischief, pranks, and folly with The Merry Wives of Windsor, a play that, according to urban legend, was inspired by Queen Elizabeth’s request for a tale featuring the eccentric Sir John Falstaff in love. However, in this uproarious comedy, rather than finding Falstaff in love, we find him entangled in the shrewd schemes of two clever Windsor wives who unite to outwit one of Shakespeare’s most endearing scoundrels. Set against the backdrop of Elizabethan domestic life and featuring an eclectic ensemble of zany characters, this irresistible comic confection weaves together romance and farce to create a joyful story of community and family.


The Merry Wives of Windsor 2024

Step into an ominous world of witches, warfare, murder, and madness this season at the Blackfriars Playhouse with Shakespeare’s Macbeth, a relentless examination of the darkest depths of the human condition. This twisted tale begins with a supernatural prophecy that sets in motion a bloody course of events for Macbeth and his Lady as they descend into treachery and turmoil. Fueled by their own ambition and encouraged by haunting visitations from three otherworldly figures, the Macbeths cling desperately to their ill-gotten throne, and their sanity, as battle looms and they must face the tragic consequences of their tyranny and betrayal.


Macbeth 2024

Oscar Wilde’s brilliant and wicked The Importance of Being Earnest, is a comedic masterpiece that unravels a web of mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and clever deceptions. When two young gentlemen decide to adopt fictitious personas to escape the constraints of societal expectations, a whirlwind of hilarious misunderstandings ensues. As love interests collide and secret pasts are revealed, Wilde weaves a delightful tapestry of wit, absurdity, and biting satire.
