Commonwealth Shakespeare Company

Share Your Shakespeare on the Common Story! 📣
As we celebrate 30 years of Shakespeare on the Common, we're collecting memories from the audiences who have made this tradition so special. Did you have a memorable picnic, a Shakespearean mishap, a first date, a family tradition, or a magical moment under the stars? We'd love to hear your story.

Share your favorite Shakespeare on the Common memory in comments or DM and help us celebrate three decades of free theater for everyone!
