Main Campus - Mary Rippon Theater

Directed by Geoffrey Kent

Dream a little dream of love and laughter as Shakespeare's most beloved comedy casts its spell on the enchanting Mary Rippon stage. Moonlight, magic and mirth ensue when four young lovers and a troupe of actors leave behind the confines of Edwardian propriety and find themselves subject to the wiles of a fairy kingdom with a distinctly Jazz Age flair. It's an enchanting evening of romance under the stars and a wonderful introduction to Shakespeare for children.

Main Campus - University Theatre

Directed by Gary Wright

A hilarious homage for Shakespeare lovers, haters and everyone in between as three actors frantically attempt to perform the entire canon — all 37 plays! — in a couple of hours. That necessitates some ... creative editing. Cheer the histories on the gridiron! Get down with Othello through the magic of rap! Pick up culinary tips courtesy of Titus Andronicus! "Shakespeare as written by Reader's Digest, acted by Monty Python, and performed at the speed of the minute waltz." — Los Angeles Herald

Main Campus - Mary Rippon Theater

Directed by Jane Page

Shakespeare's great tragedy explores the darkest corners of the human heart as the ambitious Macbeth schemes and murders in his raw, ambitious quest for the throne. The ominous portents of three "weird sisters" and a warning from Banquo's ghost guide his bloody hand ... or do they? Set amid the harsh landscapes — both political and geographic — of 1980s Afghanistan, this dark and brooding vision is directed by Jane Page, director of CSF's 2009 smash hit, To Kill a Mockingbird.

Richard II Opening Night (7/19/2013)

Sat, 20 Jul 2013 01:30:00 GMT

Start Date:	7/19/2013	Start Time:	7:30 PM
End Date:	7/19/2013	End Time:	9:30 PM

Main Campus - University Theatre

Directed by James Symons

Richard II opens Shakespeare’s epic four-play Henriad, the backstory to England’s bloody Wars of the Roses — the saga that ends with Richard III. Good-hearted yet weak, Richard II is fated to be challenged by the aggressive, popular Henry Bolingbroke. At a time when image is everything in American politics, Richard’s tragedy poses critical questions about how to govern a divided nation. (Look for the succeeding plays in the tetralogy, Henry IV, Parts 1 and 2, in 2014, and Henry V in 2015*.)

* The University reserves the right to cancel or postpone any future performances in this cycle.
