Roustabout opens Shakespeare pastiche July 11

  • Ypsilanti Experimental Space 8 N Washington Street Ypsilanti, Mi 48198 (map)

Managing Director Anna Simmons has once again adapted a compilation of Shakespeare’s works, centered upon a single theme. For this production, the scenes, sonnets, and excerpts will come together with original dialogue to create a night of theater focused on parenthood. This montage will explore a side of William Shakespeare we don’t often think about: his role as a father and son.

Big Daddy Shakespeare will be directed by Josie Eli Lapczynski, Roustabout’s Media Designer and the artist behind Roustabout’s signature branding. The ensemble cast of four actors – Amanda Buchalter, Julia Garlotte, Russ Schwartz, and Cynthia Szczesny – will play over 50 characters throughout the play! Finally, this production will be fully designed and built by the Roustabout team as the studio production of the season.

Tickets are available online at roustabout.brownpapertickets.com or by calling (734) 681-0112.
