Presenting William Shakespeare’s THE TEMPEST, running from March 18-27, 2022, directed by Michael Martins!

The year is 1700. The Caribbean is a hotbed of naval activity as the powers of Europe vie for control of the region. Out of this chaos, the “Golden Age of Piracy” has come into full swing, generating countless legends that blur the lines between myth and history. In one such tale, a tempest arises – as if by magic – washing the good Queen Alonso and her crew of travelers ashore on a deserted island. Little do they know the storm was indeed raised by magic: the sorcery of Prospero, a man from their dark past, set on revenge.

Join us for this piratical reimagining of Shakespeare’s classic tale of romance, revenge, humor and magic, which infuses the Bard’s classic text with lively sea shanties from the period!
