By embodying the full potential of every sexuality and gender, Rosalind transcends the role of Everywoman and becomes a burning light of pure humanity. Stripped to its bare essentials as part of this exciting reading series, As You Like It assumes a raw power and sensuality that delves into the very heart of what it ultimately means to be human. http://www.american-shakespeare.com/index.html#20100523 On May 19th, the Complete Readings of William Shakespeare continues with Second Maiden's Tragedy. There's been a lot of hullaballoo of late regarding the decision by the Arden Shakespeare to publish the "lost" play of Double Falsehood. This is a rare opportunity to see the other play commonly identified as the lost play of Cardenio. But is this really a lost masterpiece? Or just a scholastic grab for glory? Come decide for yourself, as the American Shakespeare Repertory presents the second in its series of apocryphal plays! http://www.american-shakespeare.com/index.html#20100514 Due to irreconcileable schedule conflicts, American Shakespeare Repertory regretfully announces that our May 12th reading of Hamlet will be cancelled. No alternative reading or event will take the place of this reading, but the Complete Readings of William Shakespeare will continue with The Second Maiden's Tragedy on May 19th at the People's Center Theater in Minneapolis, MN. http://www.american-shakespeare.com/index.html#20100420 On March 24th,the Complete Readings of William Shakespeare continue with Anthony and Cleopatra as the sequel to Julius Caesar explodes across the stage of the Blank Slate Theater.

Here are those who loved not wisely, but too well. http://www.american-shakespeare.com/index.html#20100323 The American Shakespeare Repertory is looking for a sponsor for our March 24th reading of Anthony and Cleopatra.

On February 17th, The Rape of Lucrece -- Shakespeare's epic poem -- will be performed in an intimate reading. On February 24th, Romeo and Juliet (formerly scheduled for February 17th) will be performed. Both readings will be sponsored by Theatre Unbound's production of Expecting Isabel, and will remain in the originally scheduled venue of the Lowry Lab Theater. Troilus and Cressida, which was originally scheduled for February 24th, will be re-scheduled during a later sequence. http://www.american-shakespeare.com/index.html#20100127 On January 27th, for the first time in ten years and for only the second time in history, Shakespeare's Edward III is coming to a stage in the Twin Cities! Or is it Shakespeare's at all? Although its place in the canon has been disputed for centuries, over the past twenty years Edward III has become widely recognized as one of the Bard's lost masterpieces. This is a rare opportunity to see the play in live performance. Join us for the sixth play in the Complete Readings of William Shakespeare. http://www.american-shakespeare.com/index.html#20100121 On January 20th, the Complete Readings of William Shakespeare continues with Richard III at the Theatre in the Round. Richard's body is eaten away by the cankerous evil that devours his soul. And like its would-be monarch, the fair isle of England slowly rots from the inside. One of Shakespeare's most popular plays is given a fresh treatment, as the American Shakespeare Repertory explores the progressive deformity of a hunchbanked toad, weaving a spider's web of deceit in a political thriller of lust, murder, and betrayal. http://www.american-shakespeare.com/index.html#20100117 The American Shakespeare Repertory is casting an acting company for the Second Sequence of the Complete Readings of William Shakespeare.

Is love born of the eye or of the heart? Shakespeare's Viola stands at the center of this tempest-tossed question, presenting one of Shakespeare's finest cross-dressing heroines in a comedy of mistaken identities; drunken buffoonery; and love misplaced, misprized, and mislaid. http://www.american-shakespeare.com/index.html#20091210
