American Voices
CSC's script-in-hand reading series of American classics. The 2010-2011 series featured Anthony Rapp and Jim True-Frost as guest directors alongside CSC Artistic Director Steven Maler, and starred celebrated stage and screen actors Chris Cooper, Jason Butler Harner and Jeffrey Donovan.
Shakespeare and the Law
Presented each season in partnership with the Boston Lawyers Chapter of the Federalists Society and McCarter & English. Shakespeare & the Law features a staged reading of a Shakespeare play (past performances include Othello, The Merchant of Venice and Henry V) performed by local, state and national lawyers, judges and other politicos. The presentation is followed by a panel discussion lead by a moderator.
Tour of the Parks
CSC's touring initiative to local parks. The 2011 summer season features two productions: Shakespeare on Love, a collection of scenes, songs and sonnets from Shakespeare performed by Apprentices enrolled in Summer Apprentice Program, and A Shakespearean Cabaret featuring students from New England Conservatory.
Shakespeare on the Common
A Boston tradition since 1996, CSC has been presenting fully-staged productions of Shakespeare plays free-of-charge to Boston audiences.
Commonwealth Concerts
Sponsored by New England Conservatory, Commonwealth Concerts is a series of pre-show concerts featuring a wide range of musical stylings before performances of Shakespeare on the Common.
Events
Special events--including our Annual Gala--held throughout the year to raise funds to support all of CSC's FREE programming.
