Rehearsals for The Merry Wives of Windsor are underway, and this cast is going to be fantastic.  We took a fw photos and Ryan Stasell, our graphic design artist, and our 'Fenton" on the stage created this magnificent poster!! 
It has a bit of the Old West feel we are using as the backdrop for the show.   With character names of Pistol, Shallow, Simple and Quickly....the Western genre just fits.  I hope you will join us out on the lawn of Clark Island to see our 90 minute edited version of this clever work of the Bard!!

With the announcement of the 2011 Shakespeare on Clark's production of The Merry Wives of Windsor, I begin the task of editing the script down to our 90 minutes of romping fun!!! with respect to Shakespeare.

Our on line pole gave us interesting results, with no clear cut run away leader.  The Merry Wives of Windsor did indeed top the scales, but had been selected for many other reasons.   It truly is one of the funniest of the Bard's comedies, and it features four very strong female roles.   Not that our troupe has ever been lacking fantastically talented men.  On the contrary, we have been blessed with male talent, and that is perfect, as there are also so many plumb fun character roles for men in the play!!  I do feel the biggest challenge will be finding that one male actor who can do justice to the choicest of roles:  Falstaff!!  He is such a big personality, and it will take a strong actor to bring his full spirit to life in the production!!  Male actors...are you up for the challenge???

Auditions will be set soon!!  We will hold them some time in May.   We always do cold readings from the script...and I will announce when the edited version is available and can email that to anyone interested in auditioning!!  We are a fun troupe.....I hope you will entertain the thought of auditioning and becoming a part of our ensemble!

And backstage assistance is always helpful!!
