The Richmond Shakespeare Festival is back at Agecroft Hall! Bring your lawn chair or blanket and join Quill Theatre on Agecroft’s back lawn where you can sit as close to (or as far from) other patrons as you like! You ll have a great view of the James River, the summer sky, the stage and, of course. Twelfth Night is Shakespeare s hilarious tale of unrequited love crackles with quick wit and gender-bending hijinks. Stranded on the coast of Illyria, Viola assumes the disguise of a page boy for Duke Orsino and finds herself at the center of an explosive love triangle in which identity, passion and gender all threaten to come undone. Bursting with vitality and romance, Twelfth Night gives us some of Shakespeare s most memorable characters and one of his most dynamic heroines. Purchase tickets online.

“First, freedom is never free; in fact, it has always been bought at great cost, whether on the battlefield, in the legislative assembly, in the law courts, in the schoolroom, or in synagogues, temples or churches. Also, it is never self-perpetuating, but has had to be re-won again and again.” ~Author unknown, 1960s
Independence Day means so much more this year as we celebrate our freedom to be with each other and enjoy the amazing art, culture and history this region has to offer. Let us, too, remember the sacrifice that has gone before us – this past year and in years gone by. And also remember there is so much work left to do in order to bring our community back to

“What I love about Juneteenth is that even in that extended wait, we still find something to celebrate. Even though the story has never been tidy, and Black folks have had to march and fight for every inch of our freedom, our story is nonetheless one of progress.” ~ Michelle Obama
Cultural events come alive this week with Juneteenth celebrations and performances honoring Virginia’s new state holiday. Dance, music, visual arts – you will find many ways to commemorate the day and dig deep into the story of our nation.

Beethoven is at the heart of this Richmond Symphony concert, with the majestic Piano Concerto n.1 and the sunny and cheerful Symphony n.4 that in its brightness recalls the symphonies of Haydn, with whom Beethoven had studied a decade before.
