We meet at 7:00pm on the second Monday of each month at Possum Hall

 PPSP seeks to promote the appreciation of the plays of William Shakespeare in lower Delaware.  We invite all to explore the vastness of human emotions through reading and performing his works.

Those interested in reading the plays meet at 7:00pm on the second Monday of each month at Possum Hall, in Georgetown. A play is selected and a leader emerges to give some background on the play and to assign parts around the table. The play is read over a series of meetings.

Those interested in performing scenes or in full-length productions volunteer or audition for a designated director. Actors have performed programs of scenes at a number of libraries, Bridgeville, Greenwood, Georgetown, Milton, Lewes, Seaford, Rehoboth and at the gazebo in Milton. In 2016, 2017, and 2018, the Players have provided entertainment for the fund raiser dinner during the Shakespeare Festival at the Lewes Library.

Starting in 2009 PPSP produced THE TAMING OF THE SHREW; in 2011, AS YOU LIKE IT; in 2014, TWELFTH NIGHT, OR WHAT YOU WILL; in 2016, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING; in 2019 THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR all on the Possum Hall stage. In 2012, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM was produced in conjunction with the Rehoboth Art League in the League’s gardens. About every other year a full-length play is produced on the Possum Hall stage.

Members of the PPSP have also lead workshops for Possum Juniors and have given programs for classes at Seaford High School, Woodward High School, and Shield Elementary School in Lewes.

If you enjoy reading or performing Shakespeare's plays, then this is the group for you! For more information about PPSP and to learn what readings will be taking place, please contact Sharron Karrow at 302-515-4945.
