THE COMEDY OF ERRORS
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Chuck Ney
June 27; July 4, 6, 12*, 14*, 19, 21, 25*, 27*
Mistaken identities, misunderstood intentions, and two sets of identical twins – mix those together and the result is a “Comedy of Errors,” Shakespeare’s shortest and most outrageous comedy. A madcap story fraught with mayhem, confusion, anarchy, and hilarity!
This production is appropriate for all ages, but children under 6 years old are not admitted.THE FOREIGNER
By Larry Shue
Directed by Raymond Caldwell
June 28; July 5*, 7*, 12, 14, 18*, 20*, 25, 27
An incredibly shy Englishman arrives at a fishing lodge in rural Georgia, and due to a misunderstanding, the locals assume that he cannot understand English because he is … “a foreigner.” Consequently, they speak openly in his presence about their personal affairs, deepest secrets, and sinister plans, as “the foreigner” maintains his mute presence and becomes involved in a plot to sort out their tangled lives. The result is a story that is hilarious and heartwarming and full of comic surprises.
This production is appropriate for all ages, but children under 6 years old are not admitted.
THE WINTER’S TALE
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Matthew Earnest♦
June 29; July 5, 7, 11*, 13*, 18, 20, 26*, 28*
The Winter’s Tale is a fairy tale for adults, a beautiful story about the evil of jealousy and the power of faith and forgiveness. One of Shakespeare’s later plays, The Winter’s Tale is filled with mature wisdom infused with youthful optimism. The tale begins with a serious question, moves through lighthearted romance, and ends in with a miracle.
