On this Memorial Day, we remember the brave souls who gave their lives in service to our country. The sacrifices they made grant us the freedom to gather, to speak, and to share stories that illuminate the human experience. As a theatre dedicated to the works of William Shakespeare, we are ever mindful of the themes of HONOR, INTEGRITY, COURAGE, and SACRIFICE that echo through his plays. On this day, we reflect on these timeless virtues, the importance they have in upholding our democracy, and honor those who have lived—and died—by them. We extend our deepest gratitude to all who have served and to the families who have borne their loss. May we never forget. With respect and remembrance, The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey
