Since 1990, Olney Theatre Center has produced a summer tour, with the
purpose of bringing Shakespeare's plays to summer audiences in outdoor
venues.

With the same dedication demonstrated by National Players, Olney Theatre Summer Shakespeare seeks to develop new appreciation for "the bard" by experiencing Shakespeare's drama in a "festival" atmosphere. Olney Theatre Summer Shakespeare tour hires actors who are members of the Actors' Equity Association (the union for actors), who are also veterans of the National Players tour. By reuniting National Players veterans in a spirit of summer fun, Shakespeare's texts are reinvigorated with new meaning and new excitement.

Proteus loves Julia. Valentine loves Silvia. When Proteus meets Silvia, he falls for her too, and the heartbroken Julia sets out in pursuit. This delightful comedy of love lost and found offers lyrical poetry, outlaws, farce, and a most unreliable dog.
