Success and New Starts

"The Tempest" was a huge hit! I hope that everyone got to see it. We have great audiences every night who really enjoyed the performance. Thanks to Shakespeare in the Swamp for putting on a great show, we look forward to working with you again!

Auditions were Sunday and last night for Eugene O'Neill's "Moon for the Misbegotten". Following the events of O'Neill's classic Long Day's Journey into Night, Moon... brings James "Jamie" Tyrone, Jr., to the home of his tenant farmer, Mike Hogan, a salty Irish geezer and encounters after years, his voluptuous, amazon-like daughter, Josie. During one moonlit night, as the lovestruck Josie seems to claim him as her own, the truculent, drunken Jamie drowns in a wash of self-pity and remorse. When dawn comes, the moon is gone and so is the man, leaving Josie with a new challenge to her dauntless spirit.
The show directed by Jerry Rose will run May 6th through the 22nd.
