Shakespeare in the Park
The Tempest
by William Shakespeare

Directed by Marc Weinblatt

Original Music by Laurence Cole and Aimee Ringle

 

Production sponsor: Sunshine Propane

 

"The Tempest" has completed its record-breaking run,

playing to over 1750 people.  Thank you all!

 

"Tremendous acting, motion and music — and even some mild acrobatics, for Pete’s sake — makes director Marc Weinblatt’s production fairly pulsate. As dull as you ever could imagine "bad" Shakepeare to be... that’s how vibrant and magical and totally engrossing... this production is."  -- M. Moore, Kitsap Sun

 

"Lawrason Driscoll is outstanding as Prospero... The rest of the cast... earned well-deserved applause... The main attraction however is the grace with which four of the Island Spirits and Ariel twist and turn on aerial silks and hoops while they execute their trickery with a smidge of Cirque du Soleil.  KCPT creates aerial alchemy in 'Tempest'"    --  K. Meyer, P T Leader

Description

 

A storm is coming. The tempest begins.

and hilarity — where feral spirits weave island magic

and expose the storm inside us all.
