THE PLAYS
Macbeth In the Historic Town Center Park
by William Shakespeare Directed by Melissa Petro
Playing July 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 28, 30
Final Performance Saturday August 5th
Macbeth: Macbeth will be performed largely keeping with the classic form
but with the elimination of Donalbain and with particular emphasis placed on
the witches as elements of fate they will age change, dance, etc. In Scotland the King is dead and the wide world thrown in to turmoil as Macbeth is set on destinys path by the Sisters Weird. From these unnatural beginnings comes a war of nature itself as what a man can imagine competes for bloody reign over that which is.
Love's Labours Lost In the Historic Town Center Park
by William Shakespeare Directed by John Beane
Premiere Saturday July 29th Runs Aug 4, 6, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20
Love's Labours Lost: Casting: LLL will be presented in a Euro-rock format -
think Led Zeppelin meets Damien Rice - with the four heroes as members of a
rock band, swearing off of excess until the meet the four ladies of an
all-girl punk group. Don Armado will be performed as a fantastical mixture
of David Bowie and Don Quixote, Costard as a kind of arrogant Jack Black
Metallica roadie that really wants to be in the band. In the back of the rock
room Acropolis, four band mates swear off a life of rock star excess and
dedicate themselves to study. With the threat of the Bowie-esque rock sensation
Don Armado constantly overshadowing them, and the test of their wills against
the four females of the new favorite Queens of France - will these four survive
to live, to learn, and even love again?
As You Like It On the Camino Real Playhouse Mainstage
by William Shakespeare Directed by Leif Olson
Playing July 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 28, 30 Final Performance Saturday August 5th
As You Like It: As You Like It is set against the existential backdrop of
the 1930's American dustbowl, a bleak tableau trading the forest of Arden
for nothingness. All of the roles remain intact, though the script has been
adapted and modified. Shakespeares comedic exploration of the faces of romantic love in the forest of Arden with an array of Shakespeares most engaging forms - from the wise and human Rosalind to Touchstones swift social satire, to the melancholic musing of Jacques.
Life is a Dream On the Camino Real Playhouse Mainstage
by Pedro Calderon de la Barca Directed by Steven Parker
Premiere Saturday July 29th Runs August 4, 6, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20
Life Is A Dream: This is a powerful play that fuses so many of Shakespeares themes. The author Pedro Calderon de la Barca was considered the Spanish Shakespeare of
of his time. This is a tale of dark and wondrous passion dealing with the very essence of what it means to be human. Locked in a tower to disprove a prophecy that claims he will be a tyrant, the prince Segismundo is thrust back into the world to war with the beast in himself and determine what in this life is real, and what a dream is.
