Shakespeare is in Bloom in Dorchester 🪴
Our CSC2 Company opened their Stage2 production of Romeo and Juliet today for more than 1,000 energetic students from across New England. For many, it was their very first time experiencing Shakespeare live — and what a way to begin!

Two Public Performances Only: May 30th at 2PM and 7PM

Starting tomorrow, students from across the Commonwealth will join us to experience Romeo and Juliet. For many, it will be their very first time seeing Shakespeare performed live — and we’re honored to be part of that introduction to theater. 🎭

Thank you to WBZ News for spotlighting our Stage2 production!

It is with profound sadness that Commonwealth Shakespeare Company acknowledges the passing of Janet Bailey, a long-time friend, donor, and advisor to CSC, whose impact in Arts Administration is felt by so many in our industry.

We honor her extraordinary legacy—one of creativity, courage, mentorship, and a transformative belief in the power of the Arts.

Shoutout to our amazing partners at Ben & Jerry's for providing our Stage2 company with a delicious rehearsal treat! They tested out some flavor options for our 2026 Shakespeare on the Common sundae, so make a note to check out the Ben & Jerry’s truck on Boston Common this summer and see what they picked. 🍨

May the 4th be with you… and with Horatio 🌃
Before he was cradling Grogu in The Mandalorian, Pedro Pascal was holding Hamlet in his arms as Horatio, opposite Jeffrey Donovan as Shakespeare's fabled prince in our 2005 production on Boston Common.
