the merchant of venice, by William Shakespeare

Shortly after he decided to direct The Merchant of Venice, director, Bryan Freeman, was actually strolling through the streets of Venice .  The beauty, splendor, and opulence of this historic city so entices that it is easy for one to overlook the crumbling foundations which will one day lose this stunning city to the sea.  That same deception is rich in Shakespeare’s Venice; we will seduce our audience with the close ties of friendship, young love, and perfection in prose and poetry. However, on the other side of the Bard’s canal floats bloody vengeance, racism, and fate in one of three coffins… Join SSTC this summer as we stage our production in the 16th Century’s Classical, Venetian fashion!

much ado (about nothing), by william Shakespeare

Artistic Director, Larry Barrott, has adapted this comic masterpiece setting it in the 1940's, just as our boys are arriving home from the war. This production is rich with the music that helped define this age in American history and will feature a live band to support our heroines as they help tell Shakespeare's great love story with moxie and song. Adapted but true to Shakespeare's original, this production is infused with a fresh style and vibrancy that will leave you wanting more.
