Othello
directed by Charlie Sexton
Dates:
@ 7:30 pm
@ 2:00 pm


Synopsis:
A general goes off to war with his wife and his military cohort, but dishonesty, jealously, and betrayal are on the horizon. Soon, he finds his world and everything in it is methodically, cruelly unmade by the machinations of a trusted companion.

Antony and Cleopatra
directed by Alec Volz
Dates:
@ 7:30 pm
@ 8:00 pm
@ 2:00 pm


Synopsis:
Honor, might, and love--with all the world for a stage. Brilliant general Antony has given himself over to the charms of Cleopatra and the languor of Egypt, even as events around the Roman world threaten a major military showdown as well as great personal tragedy.

Twelfth Night
directed by J. Barrett Cooper
Dates:
@ 7:30 pm
@ 2:00 pm


Synopsis:
Love is excessive, love is crazy, love is painful, and love is confusing. And love triangles don't get any more entertaining than in this comedy where a young woman impersonating a man is caught between a duke and a lady.
