Richmond Shakespeare Festival Sets 3rd Season
The beautiful Whitewater Gorge Park in downtown Richmond Indiana is the setting for the third season of The Richmond Shakespeare Festival this June. A professional company using actors from Actors Equity Association, other professionals, and community volunteers, Richmond Shakespeare also provides opportunities for interns from local colleges and universities including Earlham College, Miami University, Ball State and Wright State.
Two plays are being presented this summer. One of Shakespeare's earliest plays, The Comedy of Errors delivers on the promise of its title as subtle politicians, desperate moneylenders, and jealous spouses are driven to distraction by two sets of identical twins bent on causing confusion and hilarity.
Shakespeare's existential masterpiece, King Lear explores the family conflicts resulting from its patriarch's emotional collapse. Children, friends and subjects demonstrate everything from wretched cruelty to perfect love.
Producing Artistic Director (who is also Executive Director of the international Shakespeare Theatre Association) says, "There's really something here for everyone. Professionally presented Shakespeare in our newly constructed stage space in an historic building right in the middle of Whitewater Gorge Park is what we are all about. Come over to Richmond for the day and experience our wonderful Depot District and our charming restaurants. Do some antiquing in town or nearby Centerville and Cambridge City, and then see some world class Shakespeare!"
The Festival runs June 9-26 in the Starr-Gennett building in the Whitewater Gorge Park at 201 S. First Street in Richmond Indiana. Tickets are available online at www.richmondshakes.org, or by calling 1.800.838.3006.
