2016-2017 Season

Tour 2017

Summer Fun

Julius Caesar
A Midsummer Night's Dream
directed by Eric Mercado
a workshop in Southern Illinois
One pair of estranged twin brothers (both named Antipholus), and one pair of estranged twin servants (both named Dromio) all wind up in the same city for the first time ever, completely ignorant of the other's existence. Add to the fun that the city has a bit of a reputation for magic. The theatrical chaos that ensues when all elements are thrown together are the makings of Shakespeare's take on a Roman original (seriously Shakespeare borrowed this plot from a farce by Plautus that is even older).
Tour Schedule is LIVE!
More twins in Shakespeare's comedy alternately named What You Will. When Viola and Sebastian set sail they didn't intend on the shipwreck, but separated and thinking the other dead they both manage to arrive in the town of Illyria. When the Duke hires Viola (now dressed as a boy) to woo the mourning Olivia we run into the old story of boy meets girl dressed like boy meets girl. Our workshop explores the gender bending comedy with more gender bending when we ask male actors to take on the female roles and female actors to take on the male roles.

in Carbondale, directed by Kim Curlee
in Chicago, directed by Shannon Hill
The epic tale of Julius Caesar's rise and fall and what came next. When the Senate is persuaded by Cassius that Caesar has grown too big for his britches treachery wins out on the Ides of March when they stab the unsuspecting ruler. After his murder Cassius and Brutus face Antony in a battle to rule the Roman Empire.
Cleopatra, the alluring and fascinatingly ambiguous Queen of Egypt, has bewitched the great Mark Antony, soldier, campaigner and now one of the three rulers of the Roman Empire. When Antony quarrels with his fellow leaders and throws in his lot with Cleopatra, his infatuation threatens to split the Empire in two.

...and THE GREEN SHOW

From Elizabethan Traditions to modern day fun The Green Show continues in 2016.  This year's Green Show is brought to you by: YOU!
