Unplug, laugh ‘til you cry, feel alive, set your imagination free with Square Top Repertory Theatre. As Pagosa’s only professional repertory theatre company, Square Top has a season packed with exciting shows for the whole family.
Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, directed by STRT producer/co-artistic director, Charles M Pepiton opens Thursday, July 10 and plays through August 2. One of William Shakespeare's most beloved comedies, A Midsummer Night's Dream is a perfect blend of triumphant love, mischievous spectacle, and fairy tale magic.
This slick new production blurs the line between fantasy and reality, as the characters find themselves caught in a web of magic in the Athenian woods. It's sure to be fun for the whole family!
Dream incorporates elements of fantasy and magic that truly transports the audience to the Athenian wood.
“It’s incredible how 7 actors effortlessly pull off portraying over 18 characters using only variations in their physicality; they are an incredibly talented group of folks to be able to do this with such finesse and believability,” says company member Erica Curnutte. “Creating amazing experiences for our audience is what we’re all about,” says producer/co-artistic director, Charles M. Pepiton.
 Each season, STRT produces one world premier production. This summer Pagosa audiences will experience giants, magical helmets, deathly duels, and damsels in distress — the world of the knight-errant and the setting of Don Quixotes' fantastical adventure.
Adapted from the famous novel by Spanish Golden Age author Miguel de Cervantes, this modern telling explores the plight of modern man to escape mundane life in search of the timeless ideals of adventure, honor, and love. The whole family is sure to enjoy this creative and innovative production! The show premiers July 17 and runs through August 2.
STRT’s cast of professionals will also host performance workshops for youth grades 7-12 on July 29-30, 2008, in conjunction with the Pagosa Arts Council. For workshop information contact PSAC at 970-264-5020.
