On Monday, April 19th at 7:30pm (CST), please join us for our next virtual reading of the hilarious comedy "Fortinbras" by Lee Blessing.
RSVP: www.crescentcitystage.com
Audiences around the country have loved this quirky post-Hamlet romp into the kingdom where Fortinbras arrives to a spectacle of dead bodies before strategizing to take the crown himself. You'll recognize many of the classic characters from Shakespeare's original (though many are now ghosts!) as we watch our favorite Norwegian prince revel in the winding, and often concocted, path to royalty.
This performance is FREE to attend with a suggested donation benefiting the educational and artistic mission of Crescent City Stage.
We wish to express our gratitude to the Performers Unions: ACTORS EQUITY ASSOCIATION, AMERICAN GUILD OF MUSICAL ARTISTS, AMERICAN GUILD OF VARIETY ARTISTS, SAG-AFTRA, through Theatre Authority, Inc. for their cooperation in permitting the Artists to appear on this program.
FORTINBRAS is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.
