KING LEAR
Featuring Christopher Lloyd. One of Shakespeare's most moving tragedies. The once powerful King Lear chooses to divide his kingdom between his three daughters, and must reckon with his own humanity in the process.
MEASURE FOR MEASURE
A workshop production. When Angelo is abruptly appointed to rule over a chaotic and debauched city, he restores order with repressive laws and an iron fist over licentiousness. The object of his own twisted desire is a young nun, whom he puts in an unthinkable position. Justice can never come soon enough.
BECOMING OTHELLO: A BLACK GIRL'S JOURNEY
An autobiographical solo show written and performed by Debra Ann Byrd. Directed by Tina Packer, the show is a multimedia theatrical production with lyrical language, soulful songs and the music that shaped the life of a resilient little girl growing up in Spanish Harlem.
SHAKESPEARE'S BIRTHDAY BASH

It's National Siblings Day. Perfect time to mention that King Lear wasn't the father of the year. Lear creates rivalry among his three daughters - Cordelia, Goneril, and Regan - by asking them to describe their love for him. Unhappiness ensues. Also in this play, Edmund works to force his half-brother Edgar into exile. Let us know your favorite sibling rivalries and bonds in Shakespeare's plays. This season's production of King Lear runs July 02 – August 29, 2021 in The New Spruce Theatre.
