If you enjoy Shakespeare, you must see this venue. In addition to the library, the attached theater is a great place to see a show.

It has free exhibits M-Sat 10 am – 5 pm and Sun 12 – 5 pm. It has an adjacent Elizabethan style theater in Capitol Hill that shows Shakespeare’s plays on a regular basis. Ticket Price Moderate.
