February 27 through March 22, 2026 Where there’s a Will there’s a way… Without William Shakespeare, we wouldn’t have "Romeo and Juliet", but without Henry Condell and John Heminges, we would have lost half of Shakespeare’s plays forever! Those who knew Shakespeare best thought to collect his plays into one volume to honor the legacy of the man they loved. Along the way, they’ll battle a shady publisher, drunken poet, shrinking resources, and their own mortality. Amidst the noise and color of Elizabethan London, The Book of Will tells an unforgettable true story of love, loss and laughter, and sheds new light on a man you may think you know. Advisory: Contains some adult language, drinking, and romance. Featuring: Shelley Benoit, Abbie Black, Chris Braden, Josh Click, Laura Ganz-Holton Andy Heil, Jeff Jones, Steven Jensen, Gabe Samrock, Stephen Toth, and Joseph Vitti.
