Shame, guilt, class, lies and sex all explode to the surface in Pulitzer Prize-winner David Mamet’s newest play where cases–and people–are never just black and white. When high-profile attorneys Jack Lawson and Henry Brown find themselves defending a privileged white executive accused of raping a young black woman, facts quickly become secondary to underlying agendas. Race poses blunt questions with provocative language that will leave everyone talking long after the lights go down.

Combining the spirit of the original tale with a fresh, musical mischief, this classic adventure is a laugh-out-loud treat.

Shakespeare Festival St. Louis Education Tour
Touring through end of April
Shakespeare’s thrilling classic about an outsider who misplaces his trust with cataclysmic results. This elegant 50 minute telling provides the action and emotion that has made Othello one of the most popular tragedies for any age. You’ll meet the hateful and jealous Iago, one of Shakespeare’s greatest villains; the powerful and mislead Othello; the truthful, innocent Desdemona: all are woven together in a plot of lies and treachery that show us how appearances can deceive. Shakespeare tangles with racism, love and betrayal, showing us that what we think we know about ourselves and believe about others doesn’t always hold true. Most appreciated by grades 4 - 12.

This is the classic drama, somewhat autobiographical of Tennessee Williams life, that is set in St. Louis during the late 30’s . It is a memory play—as told by the Character: Tom Wingfield. His mother Amanda and his sister Laura haunt his memories. A gentleman caller: Jim O’Connor leads to the climax of the play with his coming to dinner as a “possible gentleman caller” for Laura. The story concerns the relationships of this family and how the absent father has influenced their lives. Laura plays with glass animals and old phonograph records. Her mother dreams of her Southern Belle past and hopes for happiness for both her children. Tom, nicknamed Shakespeare, longs to be a writer and to escape the trapped responsibility of his dependent family.

Mistaken identities, outlandish disguises and musical merriment take two sets of twins on a raucous journey through the streets of New Orleans in one of Shakespeare’s cleverest comedies. Antipholus has no idea his long-lost twin brother has arrived in town, not to mention that his servant, Dromio, apparently has a long-lost twin as well. When all four converge on the Big Easy for Mardi Gras, events take a hilarious turn in a comic adventure of madcap mayhem.
