Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare

Love is a walk in THe park ... sometimes!
May 1 - 5
WHO ARE Beatrice & Benedick?
I am Beatrice. I am charming. I am witty. I am independent. I am in no need of a husband. And if I were looking for one, the last man I would choose would be Benedick. I’d rather be locked in a room with a bear than spend a minute in that man’s company. And yet, there is something about him...
I am Benedick. I am smart. I am funny. I am a favorite of everyone. Well, everyone except Beatrice — Lady Disdain, I like to call her. The woman lives to insult me. Who could endure that sharp tongue? And what’s so great about love, anyway? My best friend, Claudio, has gone from solider to sap since he fell in love with Hero, who isn’t even half as pretty as Beatrice if you ask me...
When a jealous villain threatens the true love of their friends Hero and Claudio, will Beatrice & Benedick put aside their differences—and find true love of their own? Find out in this delightful and hilarious romantic comedy!
“I will live a bachelor.” – Benedick
Metamorphoses

who is the Mermaid?
I am a Mermaid. I am trapped. I’ve swum too close to shore and can’t get back out to sea. If someone doesn’t rescue me soon, I may never see my family again. If some kind soul will help me, I will grant him three wishes…
WHO IS Thor?
I am Thor. I am strong. Stronger, even, than giants—or any Earthly thing. Today I am going fishing for the biggest monster in the entire sea, and putting my strength to the ultimate challenge.
A Nordic god puts his strength to the test. A magical mermaid wanders too far from home. A young man learns the meaning of trust when his mysterious wife has a secret. The greatest legends of human history come together in this action-packed original play adapted from international myths and legends, telling us very modern stories about love, consequences, and transformation.
HAMLET
by William Shakespeare
Written by Mary Zimmerman based on the Myths of Ovid
June 21 - July 21
“I want to light the world today.”
who ARE Baucis & Philemon?
We are Baucis and Philemon. We are very much in love. And we are generous. We don’t have much to give, but we’re happy to share with anyone in need. After all, we are all God’s children.
An elderly couple questions whether the end of life means the end of love. A greedy father finds he’s gotten more than he wanted when everything he touches turns to gold. A son tries to emulate his father and nearly destroys the Earth. A fearful wife learns the transformative power of love. The characters in Mary Zimmerman’s Metamorphoses grapple with experiences that at first seem outlandish but upon closer examination are very much like ours. Forbidden love. Unbridled greed. Thwarted ambition. The ten deceptively simple stories in this lyrical play—which takes place around a gorgeous pool of water —reveal what it means to be human, and to be in love.
adapted by Richard Garner and Allen O’Reilly
“It’s Mythic. It’s Artful. It’s hot.”

who is Hamlet?
I am Hamlet. I am a King’s son in mourning. My father died not two months ago—and I will avenge his death. I must make every move thoughtfully… carefully. Until then, nothing else matters. Not the throne. Not my friends. Not even Ophelia, love of my life.
Hamlet is a young man in mourning. His father is dead. His mother is remarried to his uncle. When Hamlet learns that his uncle murdered his father, he sets out to trap the King and then take his revenge. And their clash will leave a trail of dead bodies in its wake. Come experience Hamlet as Shakespeare’s greatest murder mystery.
“I must be cruel, only to be kind.”
An adrenalinefueled story of murder and revenge.
