Imagine sitting in a Victorian cemetery on a beautiful summer's night when the "residents" who live in the cemetery begin appearing in the distance, assemble in front of you, and one by one divulge the secrets their lives held, their inner most thoughts and regrets, and share the turmoil which filled their lives.Presented at night and lit by fire, torches, and lanterns, the theatre piece will be presented by twelve actors in period costumes. The adaption includes several songs including Shall We Gather at the River, Softly and Tenderly and In The Gloaming. Accompanying the actors will be four musicians.
A new adaptation of The Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters • Adapted by Tom Andolora

A sensitive, stirring and thoroughly engaging new adaptation." New York Newsday "One of the year's ten best." Time Magazine.

Justice meets mercy and virtue encounters vice in Shakespeare's probing dark comedy. In Vienna, Duke Vincentio leaves his puritanical Deputy Angelo in charge, hoping he will rid the city of rampant corruption. Though Angelo enforces the law, he becomes entangled in a web of lies when he is attracted to a young novice pleading for the life of her condemned brother. Shakespeare masterfully restores order and even creates a happy ending.
By William Shakespeare • Directed by Dean Joseph Arnold
