The Brass Tacks Ensemble to Present HENRY V, Begin. 5/1

Artistic Director James Ingagiola and Executive Director Isaac Ellis are pleased to announce The Brass Tacks Ensemble's 2015 season will begin with William Shakespeare's Henry V on Friday, May 1 at the Ann Arbor Civic Theatre Studio Space.

Themes of war, national identity, leadership, and above all, the power of language to persuade, to change, to evoke are present in Shakespeare's play about a young king of England who leads his armies to France to reclaim what he feels is his. Masses of characters played by a small group of actors will "on your imaginary forces work" as history unfolds before your eyes.

Directed by Adam Miller-Batteau, the cast of Henry V features Mouse Courtois, Stebert Davenport, Nicholaj Deep, Sanders Hamson, Cydney Marie, Joseph McDonald, Dory Mead, Jeffrey Miller, and Dennis Verner.

The design team includes Liz Getty (costume design), Isaac Ellis (lighting design), and Sarah Erlewine (stage manager).

Performances will be Fridays - Sundays, May 1st - 17th with Friday and Saturday performances at 8 p.m. and Sunday performances at 2 p.m at the Ann Arbor Civic Theatre Studio Space (322 W. Ann Street). Tickets are $15 for general admissions and $5 for students (with ID). For reservations, email btereservations@gmail.com or call (517) 914-9300.
