COVID-19 Update

March 24, 2020

Due to ongoing Virginia restrictions on non-essential businesses and gatherings of more than ten people, all remaining scheduled performances of the four plays of The King’s Shadow are cancelled.

The entire company is deeply saddened to not get to continue performances at this time. We are extremely excited, however, to return to Shakespeare’s Histories next year with The Queen’s Storm, including the three parts of Henry the Sixth and Richard the Third. We hope you will join us for those productions, as well as in the summer of 2021 when all eight plays run in repertory.

Due to COVID-19, we are losing more than half of our scheduled performances this season and thus a considerable amount of revenue that would have gone to support the second year of this project. If you are interested and able to support Brave Spirits and the Histories project at this time, there are several ways that you can help:
