Shakespeare on the Steps of the Charleston Library Society

CLS is honored to partner with CofC’s Department of Theatre and Dance to present the third annual Shakespeare on the Steps.

Don’t miss this special Shakespearian experience that returns for its third year! Join us on Sunday, June 8th, as we transform our front steps into a stage for a plein air, abbreviated performance. This noteworthy production represents a continuing collaboration between Charleston Library Society’s Special Collections & Igoe Shakespeare Library, and the Theatre and Dance Department. This year’s offering: “Dark Magic: Shakespeare’s Antagonists and Alchemists,” a collection of speeches, scenes, and sonnets from The Tempest, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Hamlet and more, created by Miles Boinest, Micheal Smallwood, and Peter Spearman.

Bring your own chair and all of your friends to experience live theatre during your Second Sunday stroll. We expect a large and lively standing crowd to turn out for this one-of-a-kind event— and hope you’ll join us, too!

Shakespeare on the Steps is a walk-up-and-watch performance that is free and open to the public!

Please Note: Reserved seating is limited for participant families and guests only, all others are encouraged to BYO chair and enjoy the show. Approximate 45-minute duration.
