SUFFERN, N.Y. (June 24, 2025) — The award-winning Rockland Shakespeare Company returns for its 28th summer season with two William Shakespeare comedies: The Taming of the Shrew and The Merry Wives of Windsor.
This year’s performances will be indoors and run from July 11–20 at º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ’s (º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ) Cultural Arts Theater, located at 145 College Road in Suffern. Audiences will be seated “in the round,” right on stage with the actors, creating an intimate, up-close experience. All performances begin at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Seating is limited and on a first-come, first-serve basis. As always, performances are free and open to the public.
The Merry Wives of Windsor will be performed on Friday, July 11; Sunday, July 13; and Saturday, July 19. The Taming of the Shrew will be performed on Saturday, July 12; Friday, July 18; and Sunday, July 20.
Founded in 1998 by Patty Maloney-Titland and Christopher Plummer as part of a cross-departmental Year of Shakespeare at º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ, the Rockland Shakespeare Company was established to make Shakespeare’s plays accessible to the local community at no cost. What began as a small group of dedicated actors, directors and theater enthusiasts is now Rockland County’s oldest and longest-standing Shakespeare company—and a cherished summer tradition.
“Our 28th season is both a celebration of Shakespeare and of the Rockland County Community who has supported us for nearly three decades,” said Christopher Plummer, Co-Founder/Co-Artistic-Director of the Rockland Shakespeare Company, and Director of the º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ Cultural Arts Theater. “We’re thrilled to once again share our passion for Shakespeare with our audience.”
