COME SEE THE COMEDY OF ERRORS: MASQUERADE!
The play takes place in Ephesus, a city on the coast with a busy port. Ephesus is governed by Duke Solinus. Ephesus is a place where there are strict laws for Syracusans. The action takes place on one single day, in three locations around Ephesus – the market place, the area surrounding the priory and the house of Antipholus. At times, this plot can get confusing especially in its original Shakespearean dialect. So, we encourage you to not get too caught up in “who is who” and focus on the amusing mayhem of our show. This show is hilariously confusing, and runs an hour and a half! We hope to see you there.
- Thursday (2/1) @ 7:00 PM
- Friday (2/2) @ 7:00 PM
- Saturday (2/3) @ 1:00 PM or 7:00 PM
Tickets are $8.00 for Adults, and $5.00 for Students and Seniors. You can purchase tickets here!
