What People Are Saying
“I love Shakespeare and I have seen quite a few stagings of most of the plays. I've seen The Tempest 6 times now, this being the 6th. I've never seen actors give so much to their roles in this play. I was touched and inspired.”
— Richard F.
“Working on this production has been pure JOY. When life's typical stresses were weighing on me this summer, rehearsal was my place to center myself and recharge.”
— Harvey D.
