The Oddfellows Playhouse Summer Shakespeare Academy presents two ambitious productions. A cast of 22 local teens, grades nine and up, are in rehearsal for The Comedy of Errors and Romeo and Juliet. Over the course of the four-week program, they have been immersed in all facets of theater production under the guidance of directors Robert Resnikoff, Maryna Harrison and Daniel Nischan.
The Comedy of Errors, directed by Robert Resnikoff, mixes up two sets of identical twins for a series of mistaken identities, double-meanings, near-disasters, and a happy ending. Widely performed and eternally relevant, Romeo and Juliet, directed by Maryna Harrison and Daniel Nischan, tells of the tragedy of forbidden love and warring families.
The Comedy of Errors will be performed on Thursday, July 28th and Saturday, July 30th at 7:30 PM. Romeo and Juliet will be performed on Wednesday, July 27th and Friday, July 29th at 7:30 PM. All tickets are $15 for adults and $8 for students and seniors. Tickets can be purchased in advance by calling 860-347-6143 or online.
Oddfellows programming is made possible through the generous support of the CT Department of Education, the CT Commission on Culture & Tourism, Pratt & Whitney, The Stare Fund, The Franklin Conklin Foundation, the Middletown Commission on the Arts, the J. Walton Bissell Foundation, the Irving Kohn Foundation and the Daphne Seybolt Culpeper Memorial Fund. Media support is provided by Comcast.
