JULIUS CAESAR
Written by William Shakespeare, adapted by Storyteller Theatre
Directed by Brenna Wickstrom
Coming: March 2025
"BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH." Rome's Julius Caesar is a force unlike any the city has ever seen. Power-hungry, self-conscious, cunning and arrogant, Caesar is bent on power. When a small band of nationalists contrive a plan to preserve the fate of their nation, all must question their intents. Set among the political and economic turmoil of the early 1970s, Julius Caesar is a warning for those who blur politics and power.​
2025 SEASON
EMMA
Written by Jane Austen, adapted by Brenna Wickstrom
DirectorTBA
Coming: April 2025
If you are a Bridgerton fan, you'll love this favorite of Jane Austen's literary works. Emma inspired many adaptations including the hit 90s comedy, Clueless!
​
A faithful adaptation, set among English gardens in the early 19th century, Emma comes alive in picturesque color and fervor. Emma Woodhouse who is "handsome, clever, and rich" proves to also be selfish, vain, and meddlesome. Attempting to marry off her trusting young friend Harriet to all the wrong people, while nearly missing out on true love herself, Emma is a comedy of errors that satirizes the social constructs and classes of the time. Don't miss this social event of the year!
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
Written by William Shakespeare, Adapted by Storyteller Theatre
Director TBA
Coming: May 2025
Check into the Messina hotel for a round of laughs in Much Ado About Nothing, featuring some of Shakespeare's most favorite comedic couples and characters.
​
Set in the 1930s, the Messina hotel is a total escape from the chaotic world outside and is considered a paradise. Except, there are few dilemmas: Benedick and Beatrice don't love each other (but then they do). Claudio and Hero DO love each other... until they don't. But then they do again! Then, through a lot of chaos, comedy, and confusion, everyone ends up married. Oh, did we spoil too much? You'll just have to see for yourself.
MEASURE FOR MEASURE
Written by William Shakespeare, Adapted by Storyteller Theatre
Directed by Justice Wickstrom
Coming: July 2025
The city of Vienna is rolling with brothels and loose morality, but the Duke doesn't want to use his authority to clean up the city. Instead,
he assigns his deputy, Angelo, to be in charge. Under Angelo's demigod-like and religious-based rule, we quickly see a common tale of injustice that often surrounds those in lesser forms of power. In this very underrated, yet timely, Shakespearean tale, we are asked to question authority, the true nature of justice, and how far is too far?
