Skidmore Theater Announces Spring 2018 Season

ANNOUNCING SKIDMORE THEATER'S Spring 2018 SEASON :

Sheila Callaghan's Everything You Touch Directed by Rachel Karp ' 18 Performances : March 2 - 8 at 8pm (Sunday Matinee at 2pm) BLACK BOX THEATER, Janet Kinghorn Bernhard Theater on the Skidmore College Campus

Two worlds unfurl simultaneously : the fashion world of the 1970s and contemporary Manhattan. Though separated by three decades, both are shaped by the desire for perfect careers, perfect bodies, and perfect lives. In the 1970s, Victor, a designer, and Esme, his muse, are immersed in their quest for beauty, art, and the ever - elusive idealized versions of themselves. That is, until Louella comes along, a shockingly ordinary woman from Arkansas who inspires Victor to cast Esme aside and make his clothing accessible to the people. In the present day, Jess embarks on a cross - country road trip to see her estranged, dying mother one last time, with a stranger named Victor who may or may not be the imaginary reincarnation of her father. Along the way, she is forced to consider her own body - image, fraught with the self - hatred she has inherited from her mother and her world.

William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar Directed by Lary Opitz Performances : April 13 - 15 + 19 - 22 at 8pm (Sunday Matinees at 2pm) MAINSTAGE THEATER, Janet Kinghorn Bernhard Theater on the Skidmore College Campus

Julius Caesar is a charismatic and brazen populist who seeks absolute power. The people are divided - they love him or hate him. In Shakespeare's timely political tragedy, a group of senators betray him in order to save the democracy. What motivates them? Patriotism? Ambition? Honor? Greed? Idealism? When the powerbrokers conspire to assassinate Caesar, their factions goad the ever - fickle citizens into angry mobs with charm, rhetoric, and empty promises. Can the democracy survive?
