All are invited to join us in celebrating 42 years of Free Shakespeare in the Park! Thought to be Shakespeare’s last solo written play, 'The Tempest' tells the tale of a father (Prospero) and daughter (Miranda) set adrift to sea by the jealous machinations of Prospero’s brother. On an island inhabited with magical creatures, Prospero uses magic to rule the land, until a tempest washes ashore Prospero’s brother and co-conspirators. Complete with clownish shipwrecked sailors, 'The Tempest' explores themes of revenge and forgiveness and asks the audience to find the humanity in all the characters they meet.
Director Rotimi Agbabiaka looks to highlight the themes of forgiveness and recovering from loss. Joining him is Assistant Director Ely Sonny Orquiza, who holds an unwavering belief in the remarkable power of equity and representation in storytelling to bridge the divide and differences amongst us.
Bring your family and friends to enjoy professional theater at no charge in beautiful Red Morton Park! Shows take place in the southwest corner of the park, near the intersection of Vera Ave. and Valota Rd, across from the magical bridge playground.
