The Frederick Shakespeare Festival was founded by Christine Mosere and Aaron Angello, in 2018 with a commitment to showcasing innovative and diverse theatrical works while increasing representation of women (CIS or TRANS) over 45. The festival added d/Deaf/hearing integration in 2021 withย Romeo & Julietย starring Tony Nominated Deaf actor Joshua M. Castille as Romeo with Surasree Das as our Juliet. In the summer of 2024, we will perform four shows in four venues at Hood College, Sky Stage and ESPloftย in downtown Frederick, and Hidden Hills Winery in Frederick Countyโshowing that Shakespeare theater can happen anywhere!
