Photo Flash: THE TEMPEST Closes Cincinnati Shakespeare Company's Run at Race Street

The Tempest, the last of William Shakespeare's great romances, will close out Cincinnati Shakespeare Company's run at their theater on Race Street. The production, running April 28 - May 20, 2017, will be co-directed by Producing Artistic Director Brian Isaac Phillips and Associate Artistic Director Sara Clark, and Director of Creative Education and Outreach Jeremy Dubin. The production will feature founding company member Nicholas Rose as Prospero. The production is generously sponsored by Barnes Dennig, LPK, PNC, Towne Properties, and Murphy Landen Jones PLLC. The season is sponsored by The Otto M. Budig Family Foundation, ArtsWave, and the Ohio Arts Council.

Betrayed by his usurping sister Antonia (Kelly Mengelkoch) and exiled to a deserted island with only his books and his young daughter for company, the magician Prospero (Nicholas Rose) has spent years plotting his revenge. When chance places all his old enemies within his reach, Prospero summons a magical storm that brings them crashing down onto his shores. This rollicking voyage, replete with magic and monsters, love and liquor, and retribution and redemption, is sure to be a stupendous farewell to the theater that has housed Cincinnati Shakespeare Company since 1998.
