Shakespeare Theatre Company Free For All
- Shakespeare Theatre Company Free For All
In 1991 the Shakespeare Theatre Company, under Artistic Director Michael Kahn, initiated its annual Free For All performances in Washington, D.C.’s Rock Creek Park. Every year the Company performs a show free to the public, usually from a previous season, at the Park’s outdoor Carter Barron Amphitheatre.
The first Free For All production in 1991 was "The Merry Wives of Windsor", starring Paul Winfield as Falstaff. More recent shows have included "Much Ado about Nothing", "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" and "Pericles". "A Midsummer Night’s Dream", the Free For All production for 2005, traveled to the Aspen Institute’s Ideas Festival in Colorado that same summer.
The Shakespeare Theatre Company received The Washington Post Award for Distinguished Community Service in 1992 and the 1997 Public Humanities Award from the Humanities Council of Washington D.C. for the Free For All.
