Euripides’ MEDEA
Classical Greek Theatre Festival
Directed by Sandra Shotwell
September 20, 21, 27, 28
Outdoors; 9:00 am

Medea—barbarian, witch, hero—one of the most complex figures in Greek drama comes to life this Fall in the 38th Annual Classical Greek Theatre Festival. Euripides’ monumental tragedy is the Department of Theatre’s College of Fine Arts 60th Anniversary Event.

 

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

by William Shakespeare
Director TBA
November 5-9 and 13-16

One of Shakespeare’s most loved romantic comedies, two very different sets of lovers must overcome obstacles, evil plots, misunderstandings, and their own stubborn blindness before finding happiness in this witty, brilliantly crafted play.

 

THE SEAGULL

by Anton Chekhov
Directed by Peder Melhuse
February 18-22 and February 26-March 1

A new brand of theatre, in which dialog is more important than deed, was introduced in Chekhov’s haunting The Sea Gull. Unable to accept love freely given but equally unable to stop seeking love withheld, the characters reveal their hopes and devastated dreams in a mesmerizing blend of comedy and tragedy.

 

RING AROUND THE MOON

by Jean Anouilh
Directed by Sarah Shippobotham
April 1-5 and 9-12

Upper-class pretension meets lower-class ambition in Anouilh’s fast-paced satire. The twists and turns of mistaken identity and misguided love provide an entertaining mix of cynicism and fairy-tale ending.
