SUMMARY:STC's 37th Annual Mock Trial
DESCRIPTION:Shakespeare Theatre Company is proud to present the 37th annual Mock Trial on Tuesday\, February 17\, 2026\, at 7:30pm at Harman Hall. \n\nThis beloved in-person event features an esteemed bench\, often presided over by current or retired members of the U.S. Supreme Court\, deliberating over a fictional case inspired by a play in STC’s season. This year’s case is centered on Simon Godwin’s upcoming production of Othello\, featuring Wendell Pierce\, and the advocates will argue on the pivotal role of the handkerchief and Emilia’s hand in procuring the item that led to so much tragedy. \n\n\nConfirmed for this year’s bench is Judge Amy Berman Jackson\, United States District Judge\, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia; Chief Judge James E. Boasberg\, United States District Court for the District of Columbia; Senior Judge Paul L. Friedman\, United States District Court for the District of Columbia\, Judge Patricia Millett\, United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit\, and Chief Judge Matthew William Brann\, United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. \n\n\nFormer Supreme Court Marshal Pamela Talkin will again perform the role of the Marshal of the court. Additional participants will be announced at a later date. \n\n\nAdvocates arguing the case will be Stephen Vladeck\, Agnes Williams Sesquicentennial Professor of Federal Courts\, Georgetown University Law Center\, and Karen L. Dunn\, Founding Partner of Dunn Isaacson Rhee LLP. \n\n\nBecause legal issues run throughout Shakespeare’s work\, it is a marriage of true minds for the Bard Association\, STC’s legal affinity group\, to stage its unique and highly popular Mock Trial in the nation’s capital\, a city with the highest concentration of lawyers in the country. Called “A Washington wonk’s dream” by The New York Times\, this lively event has attracted a multitude of prominent law professionals since its inception in 1994 by STC Bard Association Chair Abbe Lowell. Advocates argue the merits of their case before a packed audience of their peers\, and don’t be surprised if final arguments are in iambic pentameter! \n\n\nTickets go on sale to the general public on Friday\, January 23. Early access opportunities for Bard Association members on January 20\, Artistic Circle donors on January 21\, and STC subscribers on January 22. \n\n\nThe in-person audience for this eagerly anticipated event is sure to sell out quickly. However\, to meet popular demand\, the Mock Trial will be livestreamed. Patrons may purchase online access for this live event for $25. Complete ticket information is available here. \nStay tuned for additional participants. All titles\, participants\, and dates subject to change.
