RCP's Shakespeare Players Present MEASURE FOR MEASURE, 4/12-4/27

RCP's Shakespeare Players present: Measure For Measure, a comical morality tale directed by Judy Molner with Original Music & Lyrics by Doug Waterman.

The Shakespeare Players are transforming MuCCC Theater into a late 1920's speakeasy for this production. Step back in time to this forgotten time period where the higher laws tried to govern society until society found a way to let loose.

The government of Vienna decides to enforce the laws that punish sex outside of lawful marriage! What could possibly go wrong? Shakespeare's Measure for Measure is a laugh-out-loud comedy which also raises serious ethical questions. This production, set in the Roaring Twenties, features songs from the era in a pre-show and intermission "speakeasy," and original songs throughout. Cast vocalists are accompanied by a four-piece jazz band.

General admission $19; seniors over 65 $14; anyone under 25 $9.

Tickets can be purchased in advance online at MuCCC.org.

Formed in 1994, the Shakespeare Players is a program of the Rochester Community Players. Three Shakespeare plays are presented each year. Our annual free Shakespeare at the Bowl is held at the Highland Park Bowl, 1200 South Avenue, in early July. This summer: Twelfth Night, July 5-20. In the Fall, we stage a Shakespeare play at MuCCC Theater intended for both general audiences and school groups. Julius Caesar is scheduled for October 23rd to November 9th, 2013.

AND SOMETHING EXTRA! Special fundraising performance in honor of Shakespeare's 449th birthday! April 23rd at MuCCC. Various scenes and sonnets performed from some of his most well known works.
