Tickets On Sale Now for William Shakespeare's THE TEMPEST!

In this classic fantasy, Prospero uses his magic to conjure a storm and torment the survivors of a shipwreck, including the King of Naples and Prospero’s treacherous brother, Antonio. Ferdinand, theKing’s son thought dead in the shipwreck, falls in love with Prospero’s daughter, Miranda, through an awkwardly sweet courtship. Meanwhile, the half-man-half beast Caliban plots to rid himself of Prospero’s servitude but is thwarted by Prospero’s magical spirit-ally Ariel. After several comedic and mystical misadventures, as happens in all Shakespearean comedies, the families are reunited and all conflict is resolved for a happy ending.

“The Tempest” will run March 16-25 with performances Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Matinees at 2 p.m.
