Stage Readings

of

Much Ado About Nothing

By William Shakespeare

 and

 Island

by

Kevin Brewer

Mistaken identity, estranged cross-dressing twins, usurping princes, island-dwelling cannibals, balcony-bound lovers, and bumbling constables!

 

Join us for a rollicking festival of new and classical comedy.  One cast of actors will perform two evenings of theater – one of the Bard's funniest and most heart-wrenching plays and one new “Shakespearean” comedy (in iambic pentameter!) by our resident playwright Kevin Brewer.  Both plays will inspire a dynamic conversation about what’s kept us laughing for more than 400 years.  And after each show some of New York’s premiere theater scholars will be on hand to lead panel discussions.

Visit again soon for casting and ticket information!
