Following a record-breaking 25th anniversary season, Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival (PSF) will feature Shakespeare’s “As You Like It” and “Troilus and Cressida,” along with three world classics in its 26th season, June 2 through Aug. 6, 2017.

The season will open with the seven-time Tony Award winner, “Evita,” by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber, directed by PSF Associate Artistic Director Dennis Razze, on the Main Stage, June 14 through July 2.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s celebrated Sherlock Holmes thriller, “The Hound of the Baskervilles,” becomes a madcap quick-change comedy in an adaptation by “Brit wits” Steven Canny and John Nicholson which ran in London’s West End, and features three actors playing 16 roles, on stage June 21 through July 16.

“The Three Musketeers,” the swashbuckling romp of danger, comedy and romance by Alexander Dumas and adapted by award-winning playwright Ken Ludwig, will run July 12 through Aug. 6 in repertory on the Main Stage with the rollicking festive comedy, “As You Like It,” July 20 through Aug. 6.

Heroes, kings, lovers and clowns expose the follies of war in the satirical “Troilus and Cressida,” PSF’s sixth “Extreme Shakespeare” production where actors arrive with their lines learned and rehearse the way Shakespeare’s company likely would have. The actors take charge and make the artistic decisions typically made today by directors and designers, positions which did not exist in Shakespeare’s time. Some of PSF’s finest actors will open this dynamic play after just a few days of rehearsal, fueled by adrenaline, spontaneity and creativity.

The season will continue its tradition of two productions for children, a new play: “The Ice Princess,” by Brandon E. McLauren, and “Shakespeare for Kids,” by Erin Sheffield.

“The thirst for adventure is a powerful one,” said PSF Producing Artistic Director Patrick Mulcahy. “Like Rosalind’s journey into the forest in ‘As You Like It,’ it can lead to self-discovery, to recapturing dormant or undiscovered aspects of ourselves through refreshingly new and expansive experiences.

“This season charts a course through five locales and five different centuries, creating one grand adventure for our artists and our patrons,” said Mulcahy.

In 25 years, PSF has expanded the number of annual summer productions to seven and nearly tripled the number of performances to 140-plus in a 10-week performance season. The company has set multiple attendance records in recent seasons, including last summer, and now draws patrons from 30 counties in Pennsylvania and 30 states in the United States each season.

PSF, the professional theater company at DeSales University, Center Valley, Upper Saucon Township, features acclaimed actors from Broadway, television and film, winners and nominees of the Tony, Obie, Drama Desk and other major theater awards, from New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and around the U.S.
