This impressive theater has as its mission the preservation, exploration and presentation of classical plays, whether they be those of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, or works by Ibsen, Shaw, Wilde and Williams. Even the Greeks aren't off-limits. Led by artistic director Simon Godwin, the theater mounts five mainstage productions each season, along with a festival of free works each summer. The theater also runs educational programs in city schools and goes to great lengths to ensure that audiences make connections between themes in the plays and our modern world. Past guest artists have included Ralph Fiennes, Patrick Stewart and Jean Stapleton. METRO: Archives/Navy Memorial or Gallery Place
