Joanna Settle to Leave Shakespeare on the Sound

Joanna Settle will step down as artistic director of Shakespeare on the Sound

Settle directed four successful productions for the company, including A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Othello, Much Ado About Nothing and Romeo & Juliet. Settle drew nationally renowned acting and creative teams to the company during her tenure, including the composers Stew and Heidi Rodewald (Passing Strange), who brought their singular talents to providing original music and, in the case of Romeo & Juliet, new text for the productions Settle helmed. In addition, Settle founded the Shakespeare on the Sound Apprentice Company.

The company performs free under the stars at Pinkney Park in Rowayton and Roger Sherman Baldwin Park in Greenwich .
