The Comedy of Errors

By William Shakespeare Directed by Kent Gash
February 20 – November 2, 2014

Double double trouble

Antipholus and his servant, Dromio, go looking for family they lost years ago. Traveling from the rural South, they journey to the big city and find themselves in the heart of the Harlem Renaissance. And surprise! Suddenly there are two identical Antipholi and two identical Dromios, which has everybody in town (including significant others) seeing double. To make matters worse, another family member is about to be executed for breaking local law. Laughs fly as the clock ticks in Shakespeare’s farce about the craziest family reunion ever.

Suitability Suggestions
This year's production is set against the backdrop of the Harlem Renaissance. The hijinks will move to a jazz beat, Duke Ellington–style. Although there is a plot twist involving the town courtesan with the potential for some bawdy comedy, this delightful and silly romp is suitable for middle and high school students.
