Spring tour ends on April 27th
Hunter – Catskill Mountain Shakespeare closes out its spring tour of The Tempest with a performance on Saturday, April 27th at 7:30PM at the Doctorow Center for the Arts. With the support of a prestigious $25,000 grant from Shakespeare in American Communities, a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest, CMS traveled with its production to local middle schools, high schools, libraries and other community venues throughout the region.
The Tempest begins with a sea storm and a shipwreck, following the struggles and successes of Prospero and his teenage daughter Miranda who live on an isolated island. Old foes and family rivals reunite and face the truth of the past, while young love blooms, and clowns run amok.
In Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Director Jay Dunn uses his unique blend of dynamic ensemble movement and physical comedy to reinvent this timeless tale into an immersive, enchanting experience; where the actors themselves not only play multiple characters, but embody the maelstrom of elements, becoming vessels for the spirits of the island. Dunn is a graduate of L’Ecole Jacques Lecoq, a Teaching Artist at American Academy of Dramatic Arts and SUNY Purchase, and a Visiting Professor at Middlebury College.
The Tempest will be performed on Saturday, April 27, 2024 at 7:30 PM at the Doctorow Center for the Arts, 7971 Main Street, Hunter, NY. Tickets are available online at www.catskillmtn.org, by email at boxoffice@catskillmtn.org or by phone at 518 263 2063. For more information, please visit www.catskillmtn.org.
