SUMMER PLAYS TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON
Our Summer Shakespeare performances includee timeless classics and modern
reinventions based on the works of Shakespeare. CapoShakes performances are
held both on the main Stage of the Camino Real Playhouse as well as in the
beautifully green Historic Town Center Park in the heart of San Juan Capistrano.
Performances
for CapoShakes are both held on the main Stage of the Camino Real Playhouse as
well as in the Historic Town Center Park. For "Under the Stars" Productions in
the Park ... you are invited to bring folding chairs and a picnic to enjoy
before and during the performances. By the way our "Prettiest Picnic" contest
will indeed be returning next season for each outside performance and who knows
what great prize you might just win. If you do forget your picnic we will be
having some snacks and refreshments for sale at intermission or you can purchase
some food to-go from one of San Juans' many fine restaurants before hand.
Beverly loves food from The Cedar Creek Inn and Little Rose's favorites are
found at Rubies Diner both only one block away from the Park. And if you also
forget your folding chairs (or blanket) ... not a problem ... we have an ample
supply of CapoShakes chairs available for a small additional rental fee for the
night.
Since
2002 the Camino Real Playhouse has help Shakespeare under the Stars in the
outdoor stage in San Juan Capistrano's Historic Town Center Park, which just
happens to be adjacent to the Camino Real Playhouse. It has been a great
location and a wonderful venue to host Shakespeare Festivals. The outdoor
amphitheatre was built and paid for by former Mayor Collene Campbell and her
husband, the wood and stone structure was designed by Mike Imlay and is used for
concerts and other events in addition to our annual Shakespeare under the Stars
CapoShakes Festival.
When advertisers buy space in our programs and corporations sponsor entire
performances for our Summer Shakespeare Festival, they help to defray ongoing production costs
to keep Shakespeare performances in San Juan Capistrano. In past years the
income from mainstage productions has been used to fund the Shakespeare
festivals. As costs have escalated for both the outdoor venue and the technology
needed to perform our plays outdoors, budgets for Shakespeare have been
extremely tight. Your generous Advertising and Sponsoring help is critical to
enable the Playhouse to continue bringing the quality Shakespeare performances
you have come to expect each Summer in San Juan Capistrano.
Call Tom Scott at 949-489-8082 today for details on how you can sponsor
a single night of Shakespeare or an entire production. Advertising in our Shakespeare playbills
also goes
a long way towards helping us make our budget.
Thank you for doing your part and keeping Shakespeare alive in San Juan Capistrano and South Orange County.
