Hear ye, hear ye, good gentlefolk of the Mendocino coast! The Mendocino Theatre Company presents WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S LONG LOST FIRST PLAY (Abridged) by Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor, directed by the venerable Ricci Dedola (The 39 Steps, Bob: A Life in Five Acts), in which three actors play over forty-seven characters in just ninety minutes! This hilariously irreverent mash-up of the beloved Bard's entire canon has witches, wizards, masters, servants, lovers, fairies, lasses, perverts, monarchs, twins and even a bear. Watch the mischievous fairy Puck (Mija Biggie) and the airy spirit Ariel (Nicole Traber) use Shakespeare's characters as chess pieces in an epic battle of magic. Will Puck out-fairy Ariel? Will Ariel out-Puck Puck?

The Mendocino Theatre Company is pleased to present its summer production, Amy Herzog's heart-warming comic drama 4000 Miles, directed by Betty Abramson. A finalist for the 2013 Pulitzer Prize in Drama, the play is a compassionate and humorous examination of the love of the 'family we can choose, the family we can't, and the healing power of trust.'
