Check out the vision
Come see how the American Globe Center will be a huge PLUS for Stratford
Wait - What's the "Globe"?
The Globe in Stratford, CT will be the world’s only timber frame re-creation of Shakespeare’s 1614 Globe theatre, the building that rose from the ashes when the 1599 Globe burned to the ground.
It will serve as a centerpiece of our plan, as a unique tourist attraction BY ITSELF - for architects, historians, scholars, and more, in addition to being the home for the most exciting, enthralling, thrilling, and funny Shakespeare performances on the planet
But it's the Globe, PLUS ...
