As you can see, for the 2024 Greater Hartford Shakespeare Festival, we are mounting two full productions. We are proud to employ Connecticut actors, and this year they will have a longer rehearsal period and more performances. This means our costs have doubled and we've adjusted our fundraising goal accordingly!

We're already halfway to reaching this ambitious fundraising goal, which means we still have a way to go. Will you help Capital Classics take this BIG step into an exciting future?
