The Catholic Shakespeare
January 20-22, 2023
The Catholic Shakespeare is founder Jeremy Stanbary’s hit 2-person comedy from his traveling theater days prior to starting Open Window. Jeremy, along with his wife and co-founder Sarah, perform together in this one-hour tour de force through several of Shakespeare’s most popular plays in light of the latest scholarship regarding his purportedly clandestine and coded Catholic faith. Enjoy this unique play within a play, narrated and “performed” by Quince (Jeremy) and Bottom (Sarah) from A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
