Promethean Theatre Ensemble has announced the first play of our ninth season, William Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale. One of Shakespeare's final plays, The Winter's Tale has been labeled many things: a romance, a "Problem Play," or as we like to call it, a Greek Tragedy with a happy ending. But at its core, this play is about things we witness every day as 21st Century Americans: pride, jealousy, penance and forgiveness. The heart of The Winter's Tale is Leontes' journey from blind rage to ultimate redemption. To bring that journey to life, director Brian Pastor and his crew will draw on images and ideas from diverse periods of history, utilizing elements both ancient and modern.
Promethean Theatre Ensemble presents the second play of their 2013/2014 season, Tom Stoppard's ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD. ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN features PTE ensemble member Nick Lake and Special Guest Artist Tom McGrath. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
