The Winter’s Tale

Directed by Erin Day

Once upon a time, love and friendship ruled the lands of Sicilia and Bohemia. Until King Leontes’ jealousy sets off a series of fantastical events that consumes his wife, Hermione, and dear friend, Bohemia’s King Polixenes. Sixteen years later, a young shepherdess, Perdita, has the power to fulfill the oracle’s prophecy, reunite a family, and restore the land to peace and harmony in Shakespeare’s romantic tale of renewal, redemption, and the transformative power of time.

Coriolanus

Directed by Linda Lombardi

In a deeply divided country, a fierce warrior seeks political office. But being consul requires Coriolanus use the art of compromise and flattery, not the art of war. When his pride and contempt for the people ignites the volatile relationship between the haves and have-nots, Coriolanus joins forces with Aufidius and the Volscian army. Rome’s greatest warrior becomes her greatest threat in Shakespeare’s most political play about pride, power, and identity.

Directed by Garth Ball

The Tempest

Exiled on a mysterious island, usurped Duke Prospero conjures a storm to shipwreck his enemies and finally get his revenge. When his daughter Miranda falls in love with a stranded prince, Prospero must choose between his past and her future. And even the sorcery of the island is no match for the power of young love. Magic, romance, and supernatural creatures cast their spell in Shakespeare’s wondrous masterpiece about redemption and the power of forgiveness.

 

The Two Noble Kinsmen

Nothing turns best friends into bitter rivals like a love triangle. Arcite and Palamon soon learn that the hard way when they both fall for the same woman. But before they can woo Emilia, they have to get out of prison. Condemned by Theseus but aided by the Jailer’s Daughter, the only solution is a winner-takes-all duel. Based on Chaucer’s “The Knight’s Tale,” and written with John Fletcher, Shakespeare’s final play probes the conflict between our desires and our destiny—even as it pokes fun at the lengths we go to in the name of love.
