This April, we invite you to join us as The Baron's Men present William Shakespeare's
The Merchant of Venice at Richard Garriott's Curtain Theater, the only Elizabethan style
theater in Austin. In this period-themed production, we embrace and explore the dark
and light of the Bard's well-known tragicomedy, as much noted for its challenging and
controversial themes as its entertaining plot and memorable characters.
Our Italian-influenced production is led by director Christina Peppas and assistant
director Laura Trezise. It features exquisite period costumes by Dawn Allee and Pam
Martin. Pam and Dawn are also the play's producers. Music is under the direction of
Howard Burkett, and includes works by composers Claudio Monteverdi and Salamone
Rossi. As our set designer, visual artist Rodrigo Barajas pays homage to Venice as one
of the world's most beautiful cities, and evokes the mystery and majesty of La
Serenissima (The Most Serene Republic).
We present Shakespeare’s Venice as a timeless microcosm of our own world,
populated with imperfect people whose natures are as changeable as quicksilver. We
hope you enjoy our efforts!
