"masterwork of fine acting and judgement"

"like a full-frequency recording of a big symphony, effective from murmured asides to shouted curses" - Charlotte Observer

Three more chances to see King Lear - today at 2pm and 8pm, Sunday at 3pm. The McGlohon Theatre is located in Spirit Square in uptown Charlotte at 345 N. College Street. Don't miss this show!  

No admission charge - $5 suggested per person minimum donation. 

As in past years, the majority of our seats are general admission (available on a first-come, first-served basis). However, we are pleased to announce that a special VIP reserved seating area has been created in the front center orchestra section of the McGlohon Theatre. Reserved seating eliminates the need to arrive early and guarantees that you will have a great seat waiting for you with your name on it. Reserved seats are available for anyone who makes a minimum tax-deductible donation of $25 per seat. If you are an existing donor, all you need to do is select the performance you wish to attend. If you are not already a donor, it's a quick two-step process: 1) make a donation online

and 2) select the performance you wish to attend. We'll treat you like royalty when you arrive and you'll be supporting the work of The Charlotte Shakespeare Festival.
