Thank you to all of our loyal supporters and patrons for helping to make our 2008-9 Season a great success. We produced both A WINTER'S TALE and TARTUFFE for the very first time, and had wonderful new productions of AS YOU LIKE IT, OTHELLO, and THE MERCHANT OF VENICE that you all enthusiastically applauded, often with standing ovations. We are very gratified by your support. Please renew your subscriptions for this next, wonderful season, or become a subscriber if you are not one already. Being a subscriber to Southwest Shakespeare Company offers the best deal for theatre in the Valley of The Sun. Check it out on our website, or call or email for more information. Next season we will be opening with the riotous THE COMEDY OF ERRORS, followed up by the hilarious COMPLEAT WORKS OF WLLM SHKSPR (abridged) which will surely sell-out quickly, then comes the great tragedy of JULIUS CAESAR, followed by BLITHE SPIRIT (the delightful comedy by Noel Coward, with Jared Sakren as Mdm. Arcati) and lastly the timeless tragedy of RICHARD III, with Richard Baird in the title role, one of the most dramatic plays Shakespeare ever wrote featuring one of his most unforgettable villains. Surely, this is a season that is not to be missed!
