PSF will be heading outdoors for an updated revival of the raucous three-person comedy, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] [again]. We invite you to hang out in a new theatre space in front of the DeSales University Trexler Library to witness three well-intentioned but misguided actors attempt to take on Shakespeare’s entire canon in 99 minutes, in this recently revised version of a familiar favorite. If you like Shakespeare, you’ll like this show. If you hate Shakespeare, you’ll LOVE this show. Bring the family for the Bard turned upside down and be prepared to laugh until it hurts. Ages 7+
Originally produced by Reduced Shakespeare Company.
The Tempest (P)

July 12, 2023
Banished from his dukedom, Prospero magically controls an enchanted isle and raises his cherished daughter Miranda. With an opportunity for vengeance, Prospero summons a tempest to shipwreck his enemies, yet unexpected things happen on the island when mortals and magic mix. Shakespeare’s final testament to the redeeming power of love, The Tempest is an enchanting spectacle for all ages. Ages 7+
The Tempest will be directed by Associate Artistic Director Dennis Razze, who began as a founding member of PSF 32 years ago in the very first season in 1992 and will be retiring from the Festival at the end of the summer. Razze’s artistic contributions over the many years have been unmatched, from musicals to Shakespearean productions. Don’t miss his directorial finale with Shakespeare’s own magical farewell to the theatre.
