Shakespeare Summer Nights

Six years ago, the theatre program at Gannon University had a dream of bringing free outdoor theatre to the Erie community in the center of the city.

This year marks the 6th annual Shakespeare Summer Nights on the campus of Gannon University, and we're moving to a new venue! This year's performances will be held in the courtyard of Gannon's new Morosky Academic Center.

Audience members bring lawn chairs,blankets, picnic baskets, and a good ear to share some of the greatest characters and thought provoking stories ever created for the stage, and it's all free!
