Julius Caesar

The A.C.T. OUT Tour’s production of Julius Caesar seeks to explore the dangers political figures pose to democracy amidst contemporary societal polarization. This adaptation features a modern verse translation by Shishir Kurup and is directed by Rebecca J. Ennals. With a tight 90-minute runtime, seven dynamic actors bring the classic story to life through engaging audience interactions. The production is structured to include public performances and school/community tours, making it accessible to a variety of audiences. It’s highly recommended for mature middle and high school students and adults due to its themes of violence and political conflict, portrayed through Shakespeare's deeply character-driven narrative and rich language.

The Comedy of Errors

Shakespeare’s quintessential comedy, this farcical tale of separated families and mistaken identities delights audiences young and old. Antipholus and his servant, Dromio, travel in search of a long-lost family member, only to get mixed up in a madcap race against the clock, love-at-first-double-take, run-ins with local law enforcement, and double trouble—times two. Christina Anderson’s translation maintains all we love about Shakespeare’s language even as it updates the jokes and wordplay, breathing new life into the double (and triple) entendres. This madcap whirl through bawdy adventures, mad scientists, romance, heartfelt reunions, and even a few happy endings will excite and titillate any audience. Additional support for The Comedy of Errors is provided by the Hitz Foundation and Play On Shakespeare. The play is directed by Devin Brain and is presented by The Acting Company.
