Hamlet Tour

SSC presents Hamlet at Goodwood Museum and Gardens in a one‑night‑only, one‑hour, five‑actor production.  This streamlined staging cuts to the tragedy’s core: betrayal, vengeance, and those eternal questions of mortality.  Audience members will be immersed in every evocative moment with pure, unadulterated theatrical intensity. Watch this space for audition and ticket info.

Are you a teacher or administrator in the Leon County area? Let us know when you would like your learners to see our production of Hamlet.

FEB. 19-22, 2026

The Bardlings present A Winter’s Tale at Cascades Park.

Southern Shakespeare’s junior acting troupe presents a one-hour version of Shakespeare’s classic tale—a journey from devastating jealousy to miraculous redemption, complete with that unforgettable bear cameo. 

APR. 30-MAY 9 2026

A “Walking”Midsummer Night’s Dream at The Tallahassee Museum.

To close the season, Tallahassee Museum’s live‑oak groves will transform into fairy‑filled pathways for Midsummer Night’s Dream. Over two weekends, small audience clusters will wander a guided trail, encountering Puck’s pranks, Titania’s enchanting court, and the Rude Mechanicals’ comic capers amid live oaks and starlit clearings. Zip lines will carry our faeries through the treetops, ensuring that this 90‑minute, no‑intermission adventure delivers delight at every turn.
