WHICH PLAY WILL YOU CHOOSE? THAT IS THE QUESTION.
My Friend
May we, in truth, be not too proud to say
For all our wins there is conditioned here,
That naught achieved in thirty years to date
Is prized without the presence of you near.
Each rise and fall, each show upon our stage,
Thou’st came, in both the days of sun and sleet.
Thus in reflection of this festive age
May we become a servant at your feet.
And so with this in mind we beg of thee
Instruct us now of that which you desire.
Which of The Bard’s great plays thou wish to see?
And that request shall fuel our artist fire.
Whether thy bidding fatal, famed or fun;
In thy good bidding know thy will be done.
In this our 30th year we return to the playwright and stage where it all began, with our audiences choosing which Shakespearean play we will present to complete our season. This open door endeavor invites you not only to help us lift the curtain, but immerse yourself behind it for the full journey of a production.
