Folger Theatre’s 2012/13 season is marked by journeys of every kind—tragic, heroic, and mythic. As an added season highlight, we will host the Shakespeare’s Globe production of Hamlet in September, direct from the London stage.
Mark your calendars now and plan ahead to take advantage of our group discounts for one or several of our productions:
