SPT proudly presents The Roaring Girl

Couldn't get enough Shakespeare last weekend? Want to witness a tale of steampunk, cutpurses, true love, and deceit? You won't want to miss SPT's second and final performance of the fall semester:

                     **THE ROARING GIRL**
                         Written by Thomas Middleton & Thomas Dekker
                                    Directed by Christina Pellegrino '18

Set during a steampunk Victorian England, The Roaring Girl follows the various shenanigans of characters as they try to make their dreams come true with Moll Cutpurse, a gender non-conforming Robin Hood-type, at the center of it all. Sebastian Wengrave enlists the help of Moll, so that he can marry his fiancé Mary Fitzallard, and convince his father that Mary is the best person Sebastian could marry. Sebastian’s father, Sir Alexander, distressed that his son is 'in love' with a person who does not follow traditional values enlists the help of Trapdoor, a thief, to spy on Moll. Goshawk and Laxton, two gallants, try to seduce Mrs. Gallipot and Mrs. Openwork, merchants’ wives, to no avail. Come for the steampunk; stay for the shenanigans.

☆SPRING 2017 AUDITIONS☆

Shakespeare Performance Troupe is excited to announce that we will be putting on the following two shows in the Spring 2017 semester:


The Merry Wives of Windsor- When Sir John Falstaff arrives in Windsor, his love of shameless self-indulgence is somewhat complicated by the fact that he is completely broke. Desperate for cash, he devises a plan to seduce two wealthy housewives, Mistress Page and Mistress Ford, but the Mistresses happen to have a few tricks up their sleeves as well.  (Directed by Jessica Breet)

Twelfth Night- Viola finds herself in a bit of a bind when she winds up shipwrecked on the Coast of Illyria, separated from her twin brother, who most likely drowned. In true Shakespearian comedy style, she dresses up as a man named Cesario and starts working for Duke Orsino (a.k.a Bad-Poems McFriendzone). Orsino is pining after the Countess Olivia, who is way too bummed out by her brother's death for romance. So Orsino orders "Cesario" to be his wingman and convince Olivia of the Duke's many virtues. But Viola might have some romantic interests of her own... (Directed by Kristiana Marcopoulos and Elizabeth Yost)
