These Drilling Company productions get closer to what feels like authentic Shakespeare than many larger and more polished stagings do. Real Shakespeare, AND a party.

A nine-production lineup in three venues adds up to nearly a full year of live theater in the heart of San Antonio.

With Bryce Foley sparking a solid cast as a dangerous Marc Antony, Smith Street Stage's production makes great use of its outdoor space and excels at rendering Shakespearean language understandable and the story hit home.

Paul Shearman's solo show about Shakespeare, the acting craft, and early-stage dementia is bathed in pathos of the best kind.

A battle of wits, means, and consciences, scripted in iambic pentameter, adds up to a zippy, funny, and ultimately dark comedy that requires close attention – and repays it handsomely.

A bang-up new outdoor staging encompasses the antic and the noble, the violent and the honorable, the grubby and the regal.

The touch of this production feels just right – deep enough, with just enough shiny surface atop undercurrents of evil and insanity.

Like the best Shakespearean casts this one conveys the story clearly through action and attitude even where bits of the Bard's English no longer signify to modern ears.

Their latest Shakespeare production has the company's wonted urban energy and good-natured elasticity. Plus lots of laughs.

Whittled-down Shakespeare and songs from modern times turn the romantic tragedy into an intimate piece of living-room theater.
