Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Annual Will on the Hill Set for May 4

Shakespeare Theatre Company will present its annual Will on the Hill, featuring Washington insiders, members of Congress, and media personalities taking to the stage to perform scenes from Shakespeare infused with comedic references to contemporary politics. This year’s event will be held at Sidney Harman Hall on Monday, May 4.

This year’s cast is comprised of 17 Senators and Representatives, and eight notable Washington VIPs, including ABC’s Gordon Peterson, CNN’s Jessica Yellin and NBC’s Chuck Todd.

Entitled A Midsession Night’s Dream, Peter Byrne’s script follows the path of a young Senate page who falls asleep during a filibuster and is visited by the spirit of William Shakespeare. David Muse will direct.

Proceeds will benefit the Company’s education, artistic and community outreach programs. For tickets or more information, call 202-547-1122 or visit www.shakespearetheatre.org.
