Summer Shakespeare
The Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival (formerly Summer Shakespeare) at the University of Notre Dame is an annual festival that seeks to combine professional productions of the works of William Shakespeare with community outreach and educational programs. The Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival is a part of the University of Notre Dame's Shakespeare initiative entitled "Shakespeare at Notre Dame", a program that recognizes the centrality of the study of Shakespeare in humanistic pedagogy at the University. Its fourteenth season (summer of 2013) consists of the Professional Company production of Richard III, the Young Company performance of The Comedy of Errors, and the annual ShakeScenes shows featuring actors of all ages from South Bend and the surrounding community.

Famous quotes containing the words summer and/or shakespeare:
“The fire in leaf and grass
so green it seems
each summer the last summer.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“Sometimes we see a cloud that’s dragonish,
A vapor sometimes like a bear or lion,
A towered citadel, a pendant rock,
A forked mountain, or blue promontory
With trees upon ‘t that nod unto the world
And mock our eyes with air. Thou hast seen these signs;
They are black vesper’s pageants.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
