Chronicles the rise of Washington, DC's premier nonprofit theatre through performances, founders, and its lasting impact.

Illustrated with hundreds of dramatic, full color, photographs of productions and performers, Greene's history takes us from the early performances of Shakespeare in America through the founding of the enthralling Shakespeare Theatre Company (STC) and its current life as a theatre that embraces Shakespeare, other classical playwrights, and contemporary dramatists whose plays may be destined to become classics.
