will be concluding its 2023-2024 season with the raucous and romantic comedy of errors, Shakespeare in Love.

“Shakespeare in Love,” Lee Hall’s stage adaptation of Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard’s
screenplay, begins as young Will Shakespeare has writer’s block... the deadline for his new play
is fast approaching but he’s in desperate need of inspiration. That is, until he finds his muse—Viola. Based on the Academy Award-winning film, this critically-acclaimed stage version is set against a bustling backdrop of mistaken identity, ruthless scheming and backstage bickering that serve to remind us that all the world’s a stage and love is unrehearsed.

To purchase tickets online (24/7), visit lapctheatre.org. For more information, call 818-719-6488.

LAPC Theatre’s venues are fully accessible to those with mobile disabilities and hearing impairments.
