The Comedy of Errors
2021-08-22 19:30, 2021-08-13 19:30 | Iowa City’s Lower City Park, 200 Park Rd, Iowa City, IA, 52246, United States

“How many fond fools serve mad jealousy!”
Travel bans, families unable to visit, and a world gone topsy turvy. Sound familiar? Welcome to Ephesus! (Which feels strangely like Nashville in the 1970s.) Shakespeare’s madcap farce tells the story of two sets of twins in the same place at the wrong (right?) time. Bold, flashy, and rhinestone-studded, this is Shakespeare at his most riotously comic.

“It is required you do awake your faith…”
Considered one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays, The Winter’s Tale is a story of rebirth and redemption. Pivoting from comedy to tragedy and back again, it tells of two kingdoms bonded in friendship, riven by jealousy. King Leontes rules the cold halls of Sicilia with an increasingly tyrannical bent. Can the whitsuntide feasts of Bohemia and the promise of a new generation bring about the healing so desperately needed? Time will tell.

Sonnets for an Old Century
2021-05-02, 2021-04-16 | Riverside Theatre
Written by José Rivera
Directed by Adam Knight
In a land of unimaginable distance, can stories forge connection? Can a life be encompassed in the space of a sonnet? A cast of twenty-three attempts to give voice to the meaning of their existence in José Rivera’s riveting quiltwork drama, inescapably modern with echoes of Spoon River Anthology.
A diverse kaleidoscope of expressions on what it means to be alive.
Available for streaming from April 16 at 7:30pm through April 25
