"We are such stuff as dreams are made on."

By William Shakespeare

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+

"A production that will delight Shakespeare aficionados as much as those getting to know Master Will."
