Seating for the performances is limited. Since its creation 12 years ago, the Shenandoah Shakespeare Express has performed all over the United States and across Europe. The group of about 12 actors attempts to give its audience an Elizabethan experience by using scenery, props, length and music as they were used during that period. Va. Shakespeare Weekend 2000 is sponsored by the Department of Theatre and Dance at Mary Washington College, the Fredericksburg Festival of the Arts, and the Shenandoah Shakespeare Express.
