THE TEMPEST

Sept. 18 - Oct. 2, 2025 in alternating rep

“We are such stuff as dreams are made on.”

Embittered and betrayed, marooned sorcerer Prospero is consumed with thoughts of revenge. When fate places his old enemies within reach, tempests stir, allegiances shift, and young love takes root in this adventure, celebrating the essence of being human and the power of forgiveness. Considered Shakespeare’s final work, this fresh and exciting 5-person adaptation is a voyage you don’t want to miss.
