STC Salon
STC Salon is an ongoing series of intimate, behind-the-scenes conversations offered by the Shakespeare Theatre Company for the 26/27 season, designed to deepen patrons’ connection to the art and artists on its stages. Led by STC Artistic Producer Drew Lichtenberg, each Salon session meets weekly at Harman Hall, offering a small-group environment where members engage directly with directors, actors, designers, and the full range of theatre professionals—from lighting technicians to producers—who bring each production to life. The program combines guided discussion with exclusive enrichment opportunities such as Behind the Curtain events and symposia, fostering a community of passionate theatregoers curious about the creative process. The 26/27 season features six salons, each tied to a specific mainstage production, with non‑Shakespeare plays receiving three focused sessions and Shakespeare plays receiving expanded multi‑session explorations.
