Est 2012




Opens June 12th

A city fallen from virtue causes its leader to go on a spiritual quest to fix it. However, his step away from office brings about more chaos than he could have imagined... or could he?
Shakespeare’s dark-comedy MEASURE FOR MEASURE continues to resonate! Swinging back and forth between comedy and drama, our zany roaring 20s inspired production explores a dangerously clumsy role of Authority as it pertains to Justice polluted by Hypocrisy and the convoluted measuring of what is criminal. Perhaps the most important problem this so deemed “Problem Play” raises, where does sexual assault lie in the minds and hearts of those who Judge? And universally, why must women fight for the right to say No. Yet another age old story of the abuse of power at the extreme cost over whom it is wielded and their ultimate question, “to whom should I complain? Did I tell this/ Who would believe me?”
