Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival presents Coriolanus at the Schubert Theatre. Shakespeare’s original anti-hero is a relentless warrior and celebrated hero until his pride becomes his downfall. Once the people’s champion, he becomes their greatest threat when his contempt for the masses collides with the politics of power. Presented “Extreme Shakespeare” style, the actors arrive with lines learned, rehearse independently, and open within days, with no director, no designers, and no safety net.

Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival presents Sheila the Magical - The Princess and the Frog Prince Part 2, running July 3 through August 1 at the Schubert Theatre, Labuda Center for the Arts, DeSales University. For ticket giveaway winners, the performance date is arranged with the box office at 610-282-9455.

When a mysterious spell transforms her entire family into animals, Princess Sheila’s game is thrown for a major loop. Now, with her frog prince pal and her newly furry (and feathery!) family by her side, she’ll navigate enchanted forests, decode riddles with rhythm, and use every bit of her street smarts to break the curse. With even more music, mega laughs, and a petting zoo full of characters, this sequel proves that the real magic isn’t in a wand—it’s in believing in yourself and putting family first. Fun for all ages!
