Circle Mirror Transformation
PURE Theatre at The Charleston ballet Theatre
Regional Premiere
When four lost New Englanders enrolled in Marty's community center drama class experiment with harmless games, hearts are quietly torn apart and tiny wars of epic proportions are wages and won. Annie Baker's new comedy is a beautifully crafted diorama, a petri dish in which we see, with hilarious detail and clarity, the antic sadness of a motley quintet.

Cymbeline
College of Charleston Department of Theatre
Written near the end of his life, this enchanting masterpiece will surely capture your heart as Shakespeare deftly combines multiple styles in this endlessly inventive fairytale. It is the romantic story of the virtuous princess Imogen--heir to Cymbeline's kingdom-- and features forbidden love, mistaken identities, banishment, romance, tragedy, loss, forgiveness, fantasy, epic battle, an evil step-mother, absurd comedy and even a magic potion. But even more importantly, it contains some of the Bard's most exquisitely defined language and characters!
Is He Dead?
The Footlight Players
Shakespeare's R&J
College of Charleston Department of Theatre
Shakespeare's R & J is an arresting, vibrant & hot-blooded adaptation of Romeo and Juliet that pulsates with an adolescent abandon and electricity of which the young lovers themselves might approve. Taking place after curfew in the repressive world of a parochial boarding school, four students discover Shakespeare's incredible love story. What starts off as a lighthearted reading of the forbidden text gradually becomes more dangerous as these young people are allowed to explore their pent up energy and adolescent passion. Their experiment ends in an impassioned and honest performance of the play without the restrictions of gender or sexuality.
